That's because he uses a saw. Most other surgeons use an osteotome. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages.

Congrats RB, you are almost there! All these pains and efforts will surely pay off.

Also, your x-rays look so clean. The callus formation is also very excellent. I am happy that your are progressing well.

Congrats!! Keep it up! You're brave!

@DonBones

Thank you for the kind words! So true mate. It's crazy how much dedication this process requires before, during and after surgery. I can't think of any other surgery / enhancement that requires so much time, money and discipline even before the surgery actually takes place.

@las vegas baby

Yeah that it true, I've noticed from several Betz x-rays that the break tends to be very clean and the alignment of the nail is usually quite straight.

@chasing_higher_dream

Thanks man! I'm looking forward to following your journey soon as well!

@Future Skycraper

Thanks man appreciate it!

Hi RB,

Great to read of your successful progress. It all looks fantastic - inspiring stuff!

In addition to stretches etc., are you using any other instruments as part of your process (e.g.; ESWT, TENS, ultrasound etc.)?

Thanks man!

I use a massage gun sometimes and my physio has used acupuncture to release tightness but haven’t used things like electric therapy etc it all looks very interesting though and I may ask my physio about using them.

I couldn't stop laughing when I first heard that he does that  I really want to see a surgery video of him performing the karate chop lol.
