Betz forearm
« on: May 18, 2021, 06:03:28 PM »

Been emailing betz back and forth and the guy says they do forearm lengthening with external fixators, and that it is rather safe and you can achieve 4-6cm. Hmmmm. Inputs?

Any proof of this? Betz dosent use external fixators and I highly doubt would do forearm lengthening for cosmetic reasons.

Lool I swear to god if my forearm was only an inch taller I could even look good at 6'3. I'm glad it's possible to lengthen your forearm but as we all know it's so fking risky and i'd never do it.

When I talked to him he said he is currently researching bent plates for forearm lengthening. He doesn‘t use externals so I don‘t know who told you that

Here are the emails he sent.
Judge for yourself and let me know what you think he means.

Apologies for slight nonsequitor, but he does already do humerus lengthening correct?  Using the betzbone?

My interpretation of it is that they don't offer it but are stating that the forearm can't be lengthened with an internal nail and only an external method. Did they say that they offer forearm lengthening and gave you a quote for it?

Yeah he offers humerus lengthening with the Betzbone.
