Quote from: Morissette on October 24, 2016, 01:53:06 AMI guess to a certain extent it would depend what you consider a complication. I mean I haven't had any complications but I'm certain I will have ballerina which technically is a complication but it's so common.


Yes, because complications are common.

And yes, i was talking mostly about even minor complications. There is always something.
Either it's a small infection or in worst cases fractures/non-unions.

I suppose minor complications are common but nothing to be too worried about if handled properly major complications is mostly a game of luck

Quote from: Zaney on October 24, 2016, 01:49:26 AMHere you go trolls... All the following are patients of Prof. Dr. Betz.


Tall- Bent femur nail with Dr. Betz. Titanium nail replacement.

Apotheosis- Broke Tibia nail with Dr. Betz. Titanium nail replacement.

TibandFemur- Broke/bent Femur nail with Dr. Betz. Never disclosed the information himself and we only found out through other people. Stopped his diary. Titanium nail replacement.

Andrewshizzles- Titanium nail replacement for his femurs with Dr. Betz. Never disclosed information himself and we only found out through other people.

OldiebutGoldie- Bent nail/screws with Dr. Betz. Thankfully still posting and open about his feelings and complications.

Still Young- Bent his nail. Needed titanium nail replacement surgery.

MasherHy- Severe Bone Infection. Never to be heard from again. Possibly the coroner at the morgue or the grave digger knows his whereabouts.

Bye bye trolls...


 There is a difference between a complication that can be adressed and corrected and a life altering complication...
Most of the people you have listed are happy with their outcome so having a nail break is nothing serious in terms of functional recovery...

Stillyoung is happy. Apo is happy. Tall is happy. Andrew is happy. Oldie is happy in terms of post LL functionality but psycologically speaking his problems have nothing to do with LL.

TibsandFems never finished diary so his nail break could be repaired like it happened with the rest (and the Israeli guy that was on television about which I have posted here a few months ago).

MasterHy is the only real bad case outcome

Dr Betz is respected surgeon, he's expert no one can deny.

the problem with him is 1- his nail break easily 2- he doesn't push you and hold you back if you want to length 10-12 cm.

but again, 1- he's expert 2- knows how to insert the nail properly 3-rarely make a mistake during surgery

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.

My complications will include ballerina and muscle atrophy nothing that isn't common in someone who does stand up. Yes I'll be behind when I start walking compared to someone who's been standing but it's not the end of the world
