I only have these 2 options and want to get my tlblas done. Which option do you recommend and why?
-
Becker. Much more likely to get an infection with LON and those contraptions are going to be a royal pain in the ass.
-
if u do lon u will have to explain scars to ppl. think abt that as well
becker probly has 6+month wait time as well so some thing to also consider here

fine with wait times

Most people start to get complications after 4,5 cm according to cyborg4life and most surgeons set the safe limit to 5 cm for tibias. In generel doing tibias is a stupid idea unless your're planning on doing both segments femur + tibia or you find out after x-ray scanning that you have abnormally long femurs compared to tibias.
They heal slower, have a higher complication rate, increase chance of joint problems / early arthisis, less overall safe length achieved / cutting 2 bones (tibia+fibula) vs 1 for femur etc.

already did my femur with precice.

go for becker
with Lon how u will explain ur scars to future gf
one thing to keep in mind is becker is cosmetic surgeon and i dont think he does any reconstruction/deformity surgery
so if u get some problem in germany u can go back to parihar for help later
-
Then forget what I just wrote, but I would recommend skipping out on LON. Internal methods for tibia, is still much more comfortable and safer.

I am not confident that becker can handle complications because of lack of experience in ortho unlike parihar and other docs.

He was he started LL in 2013 only. Parihar is much more experienced compared to him cause he only does cosmetic LL and has no real world ortho experience whereas parihar treats very complex deformity and infection cases. The only issue is precice is not available in India anymore.

won't do non-weight bearing nail outside india. So will go for betz. I guess if things go wrong I'll just catch the first available flight and go to parihar. I just hope he doesn't overream maybe will ask him to put the smallest diameter nail.

How come you prefer Betz instead of Giotikas? I have heard some patients resorting to Giotikas after running into complications with Betz.
-
Agreed with Marie Bard. His cheaper, more experience, and has many more positive diarys compared to Betz who have the opposite.

because of the weight bearing option.
