Now, we know that stryde is not coming back for 2 years. What are alternate options? I don't trust that german doctor. What do you guys think about doing 4cm + 4cm with 1 year gap? It'll reduce the wheelchair time and will be better mentally.
Maybe Fitbone? It's a magnetically extendable nail like Stryde but it's not banned. Prof Baumgart from Munich performs this surgery.

It was co-developed by "that German doctor" so just keep that in mind 
Fitbone is said to be trash, it's better to wait a few months for Precice

It's not trash, but it's not fully weight-bearing, so according to the doctor I spoke to not ideal for cosmetic procedures. Having said that, the same applies to Precise.

I don't know for sure, but a doctor did told me that Fitbone is not used by most doctor because it has problems, like stopping working mid lenghtening. So it's like a non reliable precice nail. I think that, if someone does not want to go for Precise, he should go for Betzbone (I would do if I had the money).
I'm 100% going for Betzbone cause I have the money. I just need to figure out when I can get into Germany because of travel restrictions since I live in Canada.

Yeah I would prefer Betzbone too. In fact, that is what I am going for now.
