Do you think I should stay for 2 or 3 weeks to get clicking down?  Need to book my return flight soon.


The clicks are easy now. It gets better over time. I would recommend you stay a full 30 days to get in a good routine.

Quote from: lucindaris on December 15, 2022, 11:03:48 PMHow much did you pay for entire surgery? I would like to get my femurs done there.


Tibia is 56k euro for surgery, Femur is 53k. I paid an extra 3400 euro for the hotel and clinic. 12 days are included, you pay the extra remaining during stay. in my case was an extra 18 days. i also did room service every night for dinner, the hotel breakfast buffet everyday, and upgraded my room.

"Why you didnt go with doctor Mahubobian in L A ?.. is more convenient I think". Becker offers weight bearing nail, while Mahubobian does not

Met him 2x and the vibes weren’t there. Plus they use the old precise nail = wheelchair for 3 months due to non-weight bearing nail. No after care support, and you can only do 8cm on femurs.

Betz / Becker are honestly the most advanced doctors in this space. Becker has amazing after care support and his team is top notch.

Plus taking a trip to Switzerland & Germany, experiencing the culture / scenery was very cool.

Quote from: maxheight35 on November 12, 2022, 03:57:41 AMYes, I would recommend staying at least 4 weeks to get in a good routine. And in my opinion the surgery isn’t worth it for only 4-5cm… go for at-least 8!

 so you just stayed there a month and went home to US? So PT only lasts a month and then you do it yourself?


@SpeedDialer hope to get your input too

For tibia he recommend one month. I was walking without crutches after 2 weeks, so it made sense.

Femurs he says 2-3 months as it requires more training. Some guys stay the full period which is about 4 months.

Interesting.. a lot of people do femur but tibia can be more complicated but also more easy for what you said, the real thing is the PT and to not desesperate because it will last long the lengthening, ¿can you work or do daily thinks like normal ? ¿How many hours do you spend in stretching, excercise and pt?
