If user Augustin is real dr. Betz than this forum is making one big change in CLL. I am glad doctors are aware of patients knowlegde and for sure they'll do their best not to make any more mistakes in future LL surgeries.
Dr. Betz , dr. Franz...
Congratulations LL forum.
If this is the real Dr. Betz then lets hear his medical opinion on the information posted today by Stadiometer. An experienced doctor like Dr. Betz after nearly 30 years in Orthopedics and limb lengthening should easily be able to respond in very detailed medical terminology while avoiding all non specific language. Then we'll know if this is the real Dr. Betz.

Dr. Betz:
Please allow me to ask you a question that concerns me about internal lengthening. . .
What is the rate of compartment syndrome if you had any at all?
From your point of view what is the best way to minimize this complications from happening?
Also, could internal lengthening have a higher risk for compartment syndrome rather than external?
thank you
Dr. betz,
Thank you for coming to this forum, I am close to making a decision and all these comments really makes me guess if you are a option.
How strong is the betzbone? Why is dr guichet only using 13mm NAILS? I have never heard of any dr. guichet patients breaking their nails, why is that? If i request a 13mm nail will you acknowledge my decision. What is your opinion on ITB release? Why do you let patients weightbear so early?
According to Dr Betz, he will be away for sometime this week.
I'm sure he noted already these questions and it's entirely up to him when he will reply (or if he will reply at all).
It's common sense that if he doesn't reply, then these issues will keep hanging.
Despite the nail issues, all (?) of his patients seem to recommend him (If Mime is indeed his patient, then he's the first one I know who doesn't recommend him).
For the record, he is not even on my top 5 doctors to do my LL (I prefer precice).

I don’t have any business relation to Sysop/Apotheosis. I never did any surgery for him for free. I have no influence on what he wrote and is writing in old forum . It is correct that he asked me to sell Betzbone® in India but I always refused to do this because the doctors there have no experience with it. . In old forum he announced that Betzbone® will be sold in India without our agreement.
Above I often disagree with the recommendations Sysop/Apotheosis gave and is giving in the forum. He lives his own life in old forum and also during limb lengthening. I don’t have any other contact with him except as a patient of me.
Seems like Dr Betz is trying to distance himself from being associated with Sysop/Apotheosis. I guess this is the end of any business relationship.
And yes Sysop/Apotheosis is nothing more than a medical quack. It's funny how he feel the need to let everyone read his recommended doctors, while claiming not to favor any doctors over others.
I think its funny that Dr. Betz created a profile and posted on this forum back on February 27-28 and refused to answer questions about the way he places the screw near the ankle, why the Betzbone nail constantly breaks or the screws constantly break etc...
Then he posted that he would be away for a week and would be happy to answer these concerns when he gets back. Well, now it's been two weeks and still no word. I'm sure there will be plenty of people making excuses instead of asking for answers.
