I am pretty sure that he'll stop lengthening phase on tomorrow and the nail removal is already scheduled for the next week.
Guys, I told ya, obvious that these guys diaries are completely BS.

Guichet and Betz lengthen 1cm right after surgery. I think it's just their protocol.

They do that during the surgery, not after. @V21 can confirm that. Dr. Giotikas also did him initially 1 cm gap.

Betz does no such thing.
I have G-Nail with Giotikas and initial gap created during the surgery. Surgery on the 14th and first clicking is today the 19th.

Could I ask what do you mean by that? Could you please explain.
I am on my 4 months after surgery and had a gain of 9.6 cm. Is the healing faster with your technique? If you want to check my X-rays, 3 months 3 week from surgery. Please let me know if it could be better.

I also had an initial 1 cm gap during the surgery, and started doing clicks from day 1.
What is Dr. Guichet's thoughts on the most common specific motions/physical situations where patients accidentally injure themselves?
Certain positions while cooking? What mistakes do people make when trying to lower themselves onto toilet/bath/etc?
ty!! Did the 1 cm gap at the start mean you don't have to spend as long to lengthen? Does it change how long a patient needs to be in the area of the doctor?

Before the surgery Dr Guichet has a training program that teaches us how to walk with crutches, take the stairs, shows us the right way to seat and stand up from seating position and what to do when you feel you are about to fall. I do not know if other surgeons have the same program, but I think it is really important to know how to move and manage yourself after the surgery.
Part of Dr Guichet reccomendation is to have someone with us, a family member, a friend or a helper, that will do all house work like cooking and cleaning. It is also a way for us patients to only concentrate on their daily training and clicks.
