Israeli television news report on a guy who did 9cm with betz (from 163 to 172).

Dont mind the speaking, just look at him as how he walks 5 months post op

Doesn't look normal, but it is only 5 month post op? Quite nice! What did he lenght? Only tibias? Or tibias+femurs? With clothes it's really hard to see

he lengthened the femurs. 9 cm, had two complications (both nails were broke along with his femurs once he reached the 7cm mark), and 5 months post op he looks like this. If this is how you look after 9cm and two major complications, I can just imagine after "only 6cm

He looks good indeed.He is with clothes but still he did a big amount.And its hard to notice.
For walking i hope it gets better.Not so good right now.But he did 9 cm afterall.This should be normal.

Again, he had two major complication (The broken femurs in both legs). Besides the nails (which he still has inside of him), he also have metal plates that hold his femurs together. If this is how you look after 9cm with such serious complications, imagine what is would be like doing 5-6 (which are a "safe" amount for femurs) and no complications (If you go to the right doc).

More and more I get convinced that Dr. Betz is indeed a great surgeon

Do you guys think him being in good shape is to do with "weight bearing" during lengthening and not being confined to a wheel chair like with precise?

Apart from a "strange" way of walking, he seems feeling good after the surgery: in the street nobody probably will see the difference between him and a "natural" tall man.

  He was asked if he regrets doing it. He replid (And I quote) "The pain was for a couple of months... The pain of being short was meant to go on forever but now it is gone".
