Betz/Becker - FEMUR and TIBIA at the same time?

Edit Post

Is it possible to do femur and tibia at the same time with Betz/Becker? Or even a few weeks apart?

What is difference between doing 0,052 and 0,07 mm/click? Better healing process? Or less pain? Does Betz/Becker decide which is better?

Are 5,57 cm for femur and 3,2 cm for tibia realistic? How much time would recovery take?

0,052 mm/click = 17 Klicks/day = 0,884 mm/day
   
   Femur 55,692 mm = 5,5692 cm (63 days)

   Tibia 31,824 mm = 3,1824 cm (36 days)

= 8,736 cm in total.

Even though its just 3,2 cm for tibia, I think propotions-wise it would be better... 8,7 cm for femur is quite a lot. What do you think?

Maybe because Betzbone is weight-bearing… and the ones Guichet uses are not!?!? I havent read any diaries where femur and tibia was done at the same time…

I haven‘t read anything like that on their website and I also don‘t think they‘ll answer if I email or call them… thats almost a consultation 😅

Have you already had your consultation with Dr. Becker?  When are you going to do to do your lengthening and how far apart?  Why tibia first and not femurs?
