Hey Vic! Apreciate your work on keeping everyone informed on this topic! I know a little over a year back you did a video about the near future of this and other methods to increase height. I was wandering if there were any updates in the field that may lead to a 2023 version of this type of video in the near future? In any case keep up the great work!
Hey guys, the surgery is becoming more and more popular. I’m seeing a new person on Instagram get it done basically every single week. I can’t wait to go from 5’7 to 6 1. sometime in the future.
I prefer betzbone because of cost, weight bearing, I’m gonna travel oversea and back home for therapy period , so the weight bearing gives me more security. Also, I need not pay 30-40k dollar for deposit of borrowing the precice magnet device back home to use and might risk damaging it during travel by flight delivery. Betzbone is more preferable for my case.
@@Cyborg4Life Not for sure, but I think so... But what is certain is that two nails, 30 cm long, cost more than 60 thousand dollars. This means that they are more expensive than a Ferrari. So, we are dealing with thieves.
a precice nail that lengthens to 10cm or plus would be the dream. Lot of ppl choosing LON or betz because they can lengthen femur more than 8cm and do so successfully. I frequently hear 10, 10.5, 11 from past patients with great outcomes and 0 issues.
hey Vic, can you do a video about the "ballerina syndrome" or "achilles tendon tightness" from tibial lengthening, bcs for aesthetics reason i would like to lengthen my tibia. but i also aware of this syndrome, i want to fully gain my athletism such as playing basketball, muay thai, and other extreme sports
@@Cyborg4Life I hope it's still not too late for what I'm gonna request lol Can you include a clip about implications of lengthening for patients with terrible ankle mobility/dorsiflexion and if it's; A)possible for them to lengthen tibia B) if yes, are they generally limited and unable to achieve higher lengths? Also the claims of the general girth of lower leg increasing, especially above ankle region. For me the width and girth of lower leg is more important as I'm walking on sticks
Hey Mr. Victor, You've forgotten to mention the most important one -- our nail, the Smylex! To prove how serious we are at Smylex Ltd., we have hired a pioneer in orthopedic technology Dr. Lilo Stich, who joins our team to support Smylex's U.S. commercialization strategy from a clinical and regulatory perspective. That's right, good things are a-coming!
Well, well, well, Ms. Phea, it seems like Smylex Ltd. is really "nailing" it! With Dr. Lilo Stich on board, I'm sure your company's commercialization strategy will be orthopedically flawless. I can't wait to see all the "smyling" faces and perfectly aligned teeth ahem...legs... thanks to the new Smylex nail. Just remember, when it comes to your company, keep 'smyling' and just don't forget to floss! - PS - looking for your friendly neighborhood Cyborg to help market it?

@@Cyborg4Life hey Bro, congratulaciones for your job in your videos;aré an awesome key xd in this complex xd(sorry for bad english, i am from México AND this Is not so currently). But where you consider can you make this curgery whitout so much problems? I was reaching in forums AND i discover, thanks to god, the experiences of turkish AND Indian doctors. Sincerely in thoses forums don't have any cuestión about what Is the recomendation in all thoses surgeons.
At this point I hope the price will go down especially LON method after these new technology come involved especially if the stryde come back in the near future This will be cost down to precies 2.2 and the LON method
Hi Vic, thank you again for another video. two questions: 1. Any chance of estimated comparison between prices of the different nails ? 2. In Precise, what did you mean by "initiates stroke" ? Thanks !
Hey Victor 2 questions, 1) when choosing between Betzbone and G-Nail you should also take the surgeon into account (Dr. Axel Becker and Dr.Giotikas) and what I´ve heard is that Giotikas is by far a more experienced and overall better surgeon, than Becker whos a Rookie in the field of LL. So keeping that in mind, would you still choose Betzbone over G-Nail? 2) Do you think that Stryde will make its return this year or at the latest in the beginning of 2024, or are we looking at late 2024, 2025 or even 2026, or never?.
1) Putting a nail in is not difficult. It's more so after lengthening has begun to watch out for avoidable complications. 2) This fall most likely for a few select LL clinics in US. Then more widespread next year and thereafter
Another great video Vic Might be an idea for a video, since the tibia is more risky with less benefits.. But couldn't find any info on specific stresses for that area post procedure. Namely, the torque with the machine abtly named "leg extension" weight exercise. Also, martial arts swing kicking exercises Are these two dangerous for a tibia extension patient risking breaking? For the first year after surgery, or even forever? Thanks again for your wisdom
@@Cyborg4Life Looking forward to it Also jumping jacks and any exercises we take for granted before surgery that might be dangerous even a year or more after
Do you know about MTN nail from Iran ? Dr. Nader uses this and he said weight bearing capacity is 50kg each and it’s made of titanium. Thank you in advance
Hello. I would like to do a limb lengthening surgery but i am not sure if it's possible given that i am a hemophiliac. Do you know if it's possible for me? Many thanks Christian
We'll have a surgeon answer this when I have them back on this summer. But you'll go in for a preop check prior to surgery to make sure your health is within safe ranges prior to them deciding to do surgery
Thanks man, really helpful video! Besides the risks of hgh in general, do you know if there’s a reason why it wouldn’t “help” the process? I wouldn’t do it, but the question randomly popped into my head, and now I’m curious.
@ victor ...Great job! Do you kniw abyobe who made videos in each step with Precice 2 2 nail , just like there are videos with stryde eg: strydenail etc...Also whst is the complication rate of Betzbone vs Precice 2.2
hey Rob in your opinion would you get LL done by Dr. Becker with the Betzbone or by Dr.Kohne? I kinda dont trust Becker and the whole Betz Institute, what do you think?
Hey i have a question On dr paley site their is an option to lengthen 16 cm with 3 surgeries Is it ideal Because i am 168 cm and i want to reach 184 cm
To anyone that can answer, if one wanted to get LL surgery at some point, but also wanted to get bigger mass-wise, would being a larger, muscular person be any kind of a hindrance to going through with the surgery?
Yes absolutely, the more muscle you have the more it hurts. Your muscles get ripped apart as you’re stretching and having more developed muscles makes lengthening harder because you have stiffer less flexible muscles that are too tight.
@@SchyllingWhistle that is unfortunate despite making perfect sense, I'm insecure to work out as it is due to being height mogged by most people but I should probably work on my fitness. Thanks for the insight
Hi guys ive started my sirgery, hoping to go from 5'8 to 5'11. I should maybe start a reddit post to talk about it, i am on my sexond day atm and it is hard going. But so far it has gone really well (no complications and i took my first steps today) be prepared for boredom!
You'll have to see if your body can tolerate it without the slightest loss of function. I always like to tell patients to "lengthen and observe" to know what amount is ideal
You won't be able to walk without a walker until your bone is properly solidified which takes around 3 months. So 3 months for lengthening + 3 months extra for bone = in Approx. 6-7 months, you could walk
Hey victor Is doctor halil buldu trustworthy, as a lot of people are getting their surgery done from him and they also have got a 4.8 star rating on Google reviews with 98 reviews.
Hey dude, great channel. Which option would you recommend for simultaneous lengthening and bowleg correction? My bowlegs are not extreme but noticeable. I'm 5'10 so i figured why not get couple of inches to get to 6 foot. What's your opinion?
Thanks! Well I would say that it depends but I feel the non-mechanical lengthening nails are ideal for slight axial deviation if it's severe they may need to use an ex-fix anyways
@Cyborg4Life hey bud, thanks for the reply. By non-mechanical nails do you mean external LATN? Btw I'm 44, do you think that's too late for the surgery? I'm in good shape and have been an active sportsman (football, rugby) but obviously that's coming to an end due to age. But I would like to be able to continue lifting at the gym and at least be decently mobile till old age.
I hope there will be a video soon, telling us what's new in the future

1) I will have to look into that but clinics vary so much it's hard to have a set price of the device
2) Initiates length. Stroke implies the length
The price of the precice method is about 60k for 2 nails an 130k for 4

Depends it could be or it might not be. Just a lower rate of complications in the latter two countries
hey cyborg how tall we're you when you got your lls and how to tall are you now?
about 5'7 now a bit under 5'9 via tibia
What happened to the bone marrow where internal rod was insert? Will it also heal? Or the hole is permanent
It heals
Yup it'll refill with fat and other matrix post removal. That marrow is not used in adults like it was when you were young so no health concerns there
How tall where you and how tall now
Is nail and internal rod the same thing??? Is the PRECICE stryde a new nail or a new rod?? Which comes out end of this year supposedly
Yeah it's the same thing. Supposedly this year or Q1 of 2024

Hi I see very less females going through these surgeries , I am a really shrt woman looking forward for the same!

Hey bro do you suggest +10cm LON femural if I make myself super flexible?
No please, dont sacrife function over 2 extra cm
