From USA to Germany BETZ INSTITUTE (Dr. Augustin)

Edit Post

What are your thoughts on BETZ INSTITUTE (Dr. Augustin) in 2022?

My questions are:


My plan is to go to Germany for 2 weeks. Then go home. Do the femur lengthening w/ betzbone and consolidation at home. Then go back to remove the nail later

Whats the worst case you have seen with Dr. Augustin?
Has anyone ever died from Dr. Augustin?
What about non union or serious other complications?
Has anyone ever been permanetly paralyzed and could never walk again?
Any previous patients of betzbone that did something similar or did you stay in germany for the whole year? or periodoically come back?

Im a somewhat fit regular male with no prior health related problems.

Two weeks might not be too bad. I dont speak german. I'll go alone there and back to usa. But going under surgrey and all that i wonder how hard it will be. I read about the masterHY guy whatever happened to him? It seems that was the old betzbone? It seems everyone so far on the new betzbone has been good?

True if i get i want it for sure from doctor Augustin is my goal.

It seems many people have gotten sucess with much major complication going for 10cm.

Is the new betzbone 2.0 really that good?
It seems all the issues were previous betzbone?
Do most people who and stay the 2 weeks in germany how was it? are there any betzbone 2.0 journals or patients out there?
I wonder how many lifetime betzbone 1 and 2.0 have been installed? There seems to be no flaw beside clicking painful and the nail only goes 1 direction?

Do you know for sure when betz will retired? I really want it done only from him if i do it.
How are you sending x rays to Paley & Assayag are you paying an extra fee for this?
I wonder if i get betzbone go home and worst case, you might to fly back to germany to fix the nail? how does it work with visa?
Did you go to germany alone? I plan to be solo and come back.
