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

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?

I have not yet had my consultation with Dr. Becker. I do not know when I am going to do it, but most likely when circumstances allows me. I am doing tibia first, because lengthening of the tibia has a longer recovery time than lengthening of the femur. Due to the longer recovery phase, it seems wiser to start with the harder one.

There is time in between. You can't do femur and tibia in the same surgery for many reasons. Everyone does either femur then tibia, or tibia then femur.

That's a ton of recovery time dont you think?
