Hi everyone,
I lengthened in my tibias with stride and am currently lengthening my femurs with Precise 2.2.
Ask me anything. I won’t guarantee an answer to every question but I will do my best.
Moving the advice on surgeons to another thread
Do you know about Dr. Franz Birkholtz and would you say that he’s a good surgeon to undergo LL with?
Also, give me some knowledge about Dr. Becker if you know about him.
I’m mainly considering these two.
I don’t know anything about the German doctors. However, Europe doesn’t have as stringent processes as we do in the United States. The Betz nail is great because you can walk after surgery which is super important for recovery. It’s like the stryde nail which was discontinued. I heard the clicking process is a little wack though.
It’s super important that you see your doctor every 3-4 weeks to avoid complications. You
must commit to being in Germany throughout the entire lengthening phase. You could decide to lengthen at home but you do so at a risk. It’s one thing to email your doctor x-rays and another to see them in person. And if complications do happen, you might have to fly back to Germany for treatment.
Do the german doctors treat limb deformity and correction primarily? or are they just specialists for cosmetic limb lengthening? I prefer surgeons who are the former because they usually tend to be better at preventing complications and understanding limitations. I heard the Betz nail can go up to 10cm which is odd because 8cm is the established safe limit in medical literature discussions.
Go to 37:32 to see Dr. Sarin asking for instructions on how to insert the IM nail... stay away from India (and Turkey) people.. they don't know what the hell they're doing over there.
Yeah I love the weight bearing aspect of the nail.
Agree that one should stay the entire lengthening period.
Not sure but I think they only specialize in CLL. I mean Dr. Becker. The Betz guy is retired.
Surgeons who only perform CLL make me a little suspicious because they're probably only in it for the money. The ones who do limb deformity and correction are way better in my opinion because for them cosmetic lengthening is a side thing but it isn't their business so they're not going to lie to you with false promises or crazy expectations.
Recovering at home has its perks and I personally found that my recovery skyrocketed when I was back in the comforts of my bed.
