Hello LLers,
I need your help in making a decision. In a few months I want to undergo tibia lengthening (not femur for reasons I don't want to get into here). I prefer internal tibia. The question is which method?
Two main options are Betzbone and Precise 2. I don't think either are full weight bearing. I know Precise 2 allows 75 pounds weight bearing per leg. So you would need a walker and crutches to get around. From my understanding of Betzbone it is a little stronger but only allows weight bearing for short distances. ie Bed to loo and back. And would still require either crutches or a walker for greater distances.
For full weight bearing post operation one will need to insert a titanium nail. That would be an extra operation but it would also mean that one should make a faster recovery with full weight bearing.
I need people with experience to weigh in. The pros of Precise 2 is that you don't have to do the painful ratcheting that Betzbone requires (similar to Albizzia). Any thoughts, advice, feedback?
Thanks in advance.

I don't know where you want to get Precise 2 lengthening but you can get it cheaper than if you would do that with Betz.
Add to it that cringe worthy clicking with Albizza and you have easy winner imho.

Thanks YSB. I was thinking Paley or Mahboubian.
Who else do you suggest is very good and can do/has experience with Precise 2 for Tibias?
-
If you have money for Paley it's nobrainer. As far as i know Rozbruch is pretty good too if you want to get LL in United States.
More budget doctors could be Birkholtz or Parihar(there is even 1 ongoing diary here with him).

You absolutely must have your tibia lengthening with Dr. Betz and the Betzbone. Hands down the best surgeon and device on the market. His surgical technique is flawless! The Betzbone will never bend or break no matter how much weight you put on them during lengthening.
Trust me when I tell you that you will never in your life regret the decision to go with Dr. Betz and the Betzbone.
Just look at all these benefits....

Well, now we know why are you called Mr. Sarcastic lol.

Paley!! Are you f**king insane :o That guy has no clue what he's doing. Good thing i'm here to educate you.
Ok fine.. If you are willing to pass up the opportunity of a lifetime with Dr. Betz and the Betzbone, then you must go to the second best surgeon on the planet....Dr. Mahboubian.
I mean this guy is second to none, well, second to only Dr. Betz of course. Look no further then his advertising methods and surgical technique, to calm your nerves. Only the very best of surgeons would go to advertising professionals of such high quality to make Men aware of the miracle of limb lengthening, while implementing a world class surgical technique.
Look at the quality, i'm getting chills just thinking about it...

Who are you to question Dr Paley's legitimacy? i see you insult all doctors right here. He's by far the most experienced LL doctor (new record for surgeries), he's a living legend and no need to question him. does he have bad cases? yes and everyone do.

Well i will tell you femur is always safer option. i just want you to aware that tibia is more difficult and heal far longer (so you can know first). well if you want to choose both doctor i think paley's better option because he will no let you go 12 cm for tibia, even Betz's great but US more cheaper when it come to accommodation and lifestyle
