Becker vs Giotikas (Betzbone vs G-nail) - which better?

Edit Post

I'm currently undecided about which doctor/method to go with. Here are the pros/cons I deduce after scouring this forum. Experts on this group: please add your comments - would really appreciate it.

Becker/Betz

Good
- Clean bone cut, good surgical technical
- Great rehab center
- Betzbone easier to click than G-nail (is this true?)
- Patients generally walking faster on crutches with less swelling compared to Dr. G's patients (based on my reading of diaries)

Bad
- More expensive than Dr. G, and cost of therapy/lodging after surgery quite high (was recently quoted by Betz Institute up to 300 euros/day)
- Slow follow up care after leaving facility and returning home

Dr. Giotikas

Good
- Cheaper surgery price, cheaper cost of living in Athens
- Physical therapy, meds, crutches, wheelchair all included in price
- Living in big city with lots of activities outside of hospital
- Can stay in nice hotel like Novotel with buffet, gym, rooftop pool at reasonable cost

Bad
- Dr. G rotates his time between Athens and London, so might not be available when needed
- Harder to click G-nail comparied to Betzbone
- More incidences of complications with Dr. G (misalignment, one death, higher rates of swelling and muscle stiffness and more pain - perhaps due to G-nail vs betzbone?)
- Stingy with painkillers

Comments, corrections welcome please.

After some thinking, I've come to the conclusion that the full IT band release and 1cm distraction performed by Dr. Giotikas during surgery is what's causing the initial difficulties post-surgery for the first few days (compared to soft IT release and no(?) distraction by Dr. Betz/Becker). So it's not the surgical skill or nail that causing the difference in initial outcomes. I'm ready to stand corrected if mistaken.
