That's interesting. So do you plan to pay for the surgery before meeting Dr. Betz or can you wait with payment until after the consultation? Did you already get an invoice?
Quote from: Body Builder on December 15, 2020, 04:36:35 PMUsing betznail, a mechanical obsolete nail and lengthening mire than 8cm is not a wide decision imo.
Stryde is by far superior, offers easier lengthening and faster rehabilitation. 8 cm are enough but almost risky, more than that is most of the times a recipe for problems.
But you'll see if your body can handle it, my main concern is betznail which, like guichetnail, are craps compared to stryde, and also I don't trust Betz that much.
He let his patients lengthen as much as they want without caring about the problems that will have.
I remember Tall on the other site who lengthened 10cm on femurs with Betz and had permanent knee pains after that and all the doctors he went told him the reason was the excessive lengthening.
Anyway, I wish you luck and to think again about the nail and the doctor you are going to use.
Be sure that you know what you do.
completely understand the risk of betzbone. But one of the reasons I have not paid for the surgery yet is because i would want to know if the newer versions are prone to the failures too..havent heard of failures in the newer diaries- tallertree/amar etc.
I also went through tall's diary from the old forum web archive. I dont see him mention he has permanent knee pain. He did mention it took him long to consolidate and hr recommended going against 10cm or 1mm/day. Could you please point me to where he complaiant about permanent knee pain?
Also I guess the pain might be there till you have your nails removed. I had knee pain too just few weeks before my frame removal, which disappeared post removal.
I would still do a bit of research about albizzia in this regard though 
My second option is LON with dr Pili. LON for 8+cm.

I would pay 500€ for the consultation during my visit post whivh after clearning my doubts would i proceed for the surgery. The quote is 52,5k €
Im sorry mate for this, but i feel like i have to get it out. Be careful, betz is one of the worst LL docs out there. Not only is his nail crap, but the guy don't give two sh'ts about his patients. 8 cm on your tibias is already to much for tibias? And now you want to do 8 cm in your femurs?? Man you are asking to get crippled!! Please stop with this. And Pili should have a limit on tibias, that unethical POS! I know this is harsh, but i don't want you or anyone else here get hurt and used.
Today I start my femurs- with precise 2.
I would update you guys on how the surgery goes and also which mail they'd use- I think I might get the one 11.5(its not the regular size- 8, 10, 12 variants).
I saw through the pages and dairies of dr Buldu. Also spoke to the doctor and his couple of patients before arriving at this decision- things looked promising. Like in the past, I only go to doctors after going through their outcome stats.
Also considering the lockdown to end soon, I feel its a good time to do the surgery if I dont want to go to work with a crutch/wheelchair.
I am 58-59kg, so hopefully i can still crutch as before although I'd have to be very careful.

I think I'm reading this wrong, did u just say had ur tibias lengthened by 8cm?
