Betz has had many succesful cases, but also many crappy cases. I dont know what to think about him. He's too expensive anyway...If something nasty happens, even more expensive! Trash!

It's not just about his complication rate, which is quite high, but his criminal behaviour. Can really anyone consider to go to a doctor who is lying to his patients, exposes them to unnecessary risks and totally abandons them in case of serious complications? He is a reverse orthopedic surgeon: he takes healthy people and cripples them. And even his successful cases, do you know how much they recovered or whether they could be in better shape if they went with another doctor?
If you don't believe me, go and ask other doctors who know Betz.
so scary man
How about his current version of Betzbone now? Can he be more trusted?
its dr betz safer actually? 
My impression after meeting him:
-He has a new nail, that is significantly more improved.
-He himself, is very trustworthy, he genuinely does seem to care about what he does
-Corrosion is something he says is a big risk with other nails, you get a condition that mimics sepsis and will not happen with his nail
-Pre-consolidation - because of the strength of the nail, if you begin to pre-consolidate, maybe i understood it wrong, it just takes extra clicks to get it going because it is a much stronger nail than others in the market
-Rarely any non-union cases
This is with Femurs. He is the best one imo to go to for Femurs. And he now offers ITB release - and if you can convince him to give you a proper ITB release, it could avoid you having to fly to Greece after with Dr Goitikas due to wide legs etc
