Thanks man. Did anyone you know get treated for osteomyletis at Becker's center? Do you think he has enough experience handling complication cases? When things go wrong is when you would need your surgeon the most.

i think it is super rare for internal nails.
You can email to BeckerBetz institute for more info
Hi Max, at the hotel is there a area to do work on desks using a laptop and their WIFI? Rather then being in the room. Is it worth upgrading to a suite rather than a double room (my partner is coming with me)? ta

Dr. Becker is a great guy and most of his patients I've met do great and are very happy with him. But the truth is, he exclusively does cosmetic limb lengthening and sometimes discrepancy cases. So he mostly works with healthy patients and not for example the elderly, trauma cases, cases with underlying comorbidities, etc So if there are severe complications like drop foot or infections I am not too sure of his experience with that.
Also he used to do other plastic surgeries prior to his limb lengthening career which some people take issue with.
If you're extremely anxious about this, go to someone else. Presurgery nerves are too hard to handle if you aren't 100% sure. Most people I saw there were generally optimistic and it appeared to me that they weren't thinking too much about major complications. The atmosphere in Freiburg and Dr. Becker's center is generally positive and encouraging.

Yes the hotel has tons of different places where you can relax and hustle on the laptop. My personal favorite was the back restaurant lobby in the rooms with the floor to ceiling glass windows over looking the nature.
Also they have all the suites on the 5th floor, and would highly recommend those. I personally didn’t stay in any as they were all booked during my time, however I saw a few and will definitely be locking one in for the full duration of my next surgery. They have a living room, separate dining room, bedroom, jacuzzi tub, and a wrap around balcony overlooking the front and back of the hotel grounds!
Did you decide on Becker instead of a US doctor mainly because of the "package" that included stay and PT? And that the nail is weight bearing ofc.
Your videos on Insta are great, congrats on the recovery!

There was many factors for my decision, but yes those two you mentioned are some of the reasons.
Thanks re; videos and recovery…. It’s a journey 
You said you finished lengthening. But what happens when you do that clicking thing with your foot now? Does your tibia still lengthen?

Oh man lol hope it doesn’t click. Check the new X-Rays, looks like the bone healed together quite good. Clicking would be really hard to do re-break the bone and that would hurt so bad.
I have also checked out your instagram. Thank you so much for your information! Becker is definitely one of the Dr. that I am considering to do surgery with.
