The beginnings of modern hand surgery strongly reflect those advances made in the United States during the early decades of the last century particularly concerning the treatment of infections of the hand and tendon injuries in the upper extremity. Although Sterling Bunnell fully deserves to be called the father of hand surgery and his monumental book, "Surgery of the Hand", published in 1944 equally deserves to be considered the Bible of hand surgery, we should and must remember other American pioneers of hand surgery, who, from 1900 to 1950 laid the foundation for our specialty.
现代手外科的开端有力地反映了上世纪头几十年美国所取得的那些进展，特别是在手部感染治疗和上肢肌腱损伤方面。尽管斯特林·邦内尔完全当之无愧地被称为手外科之父，他于1944年出版的巨著《手部外科手术》同样当之无愧地被视为手外科的圣经，但我们应该且必须铭记其他美国手外科先驱，他们在1900年至1950年间为我们这一专业奠定了基础。
