Hello 
,
I like to tell you something about Betzinstitute and truth.
Taking the example of 4 patient, but will not give names and I no gender or age.
All 4 have extended at least 8 cm.
One, I like to say that, contrary to general opinion in forum, Prof. Betz is a good surgeon. His nail is not as stable as that of Prof. Dr. Guichet, but it comes very close to him, as the Betzbone is allowed to be fully loaded and you allowed walk distances during the extension without crutch.
After the operation, you are 14 days in a comfort clinic and still have everything. Food, physiotherapy, medication including.
When you home again, you need to stretch and walk a lot. There no plan as Guichet did but If you write to him, he usually answers in a week and tries to help one.
All 4 patients could not walk well after finishing the extension. They have all needed at least 4 months after the extension, in order to be able to drop the crutches. But after that walk got better and better.
It is important, however, to say that all 4 patients had no complications.
Many here in the forum think that Dr. Betz has a very high complication rate, but one forgets that of many cases is not reported.
Prof. Betz has many patients and obvious only a few are in the forum. You should pay attention to this with your choice!
When questions to him you can write here please.

No sorry I may write wrong. You allowed to walk small distances without crutch. But he suggest using for long distance to be safe. When bone is healed you can completly drop this. This happened to the 4 after 4 months. before walking was difficult.
and i am telling truth. you not listen to someone who know. thats sad. you imply i lyer. you put betz in a bad light and this not true in case of complications.
At least 8 cm maximum 9 cm. Believe or not believe. I dont care. I want to put thing right
I think I have to make things right way:
One: Complication I meant no bend or broken nail or screw! All 4 had none of this. This patients I talk are from 2015-2016 and all femur. Betz has new nail. Alll other cases you talk like OBG, Andrew, Apo etc. are mostly old nail because years ago.
Two: Beside this no nail/screw bend or broken they all have pain during lengthening. 3 have pain medicine until end, one no need.
Three: All can not walk good after stop. All had bad gait. That is what I talk about before when say not walking good. They all did walk on crutch and also to be safe.
Four: when bone is heal they can full drop crutch even on big distances. small distances all the time without crutch.
Five: All need approx. 4 months to get better gait and look normal. But this is different from each one.
I am not lying. Why do I need to? I already say that you only read bad cases here because all good ones not post here. He has so many patient. Do all think all go bad? No sense.
