Treatment of children with upper-extremity trauma, congenital hand differences, cerebral palsy, and brachial plexus birth injuries requires specialized training, given the spectrum of pathology and complexities of treating an individual who is still developing. Although a limited number of dedicated pediatric hand surgery fellowships are available, mastering the large breadth of the field should ideally begin early in training and may take several different pathways. The authors seek to provide a comprehensive list of resources for trainees interested in pediatric hand surgery, including training opportunities, educational tools, and networking organizations. By shining a light on these pediatric hand surgery resources, we hope to encourage future trainees to plan ahead, so that they are well-prepared for the care of children with complex upper limb reconstructive needs.
鉴于上肢创伤、先天性手部差异、脑瘫和臂丛神经产伤患儿的病理范围以及治疗仍在发育中的个体的复杂性，对这些患儿的治疗需要专门培训。尽管现有的专门儿科手外科奖学金数量有限，但理想情况下，掌握该领域的广泛知识应在培训早期就开始，并且可能有几种不同的途径。作者旨在为对儿科手外科感兴趣的学员提供一份全面的资源清单，包括培训机会、教育工具和网络组织。通过介绍这些儿科手外科资源，我们希望鼓励未来的学员提前规划，以便他们为照顾有复杂上肢重建需求的儿童做好充分准备。
