I noticed in this forum betzbone is not preferred due to following :

* doctor betz is old
* previous nails would bend
* doctor says can go up to 10 cm. So no warning from doctor.
* some historical case of someone dieing
* stryde is superior to betz. No manual click compared to stryde erc.

But if betzbone was really bad, why is there so many new patients? I know someone who went there now and seen many new patients come.

Doctor not limiting lengthening to 8 cm can easily be fixed. Just do 8 cm.

I don't know what happened with that patient who died. Any links please?

I see people say stryde is better and easier. Erc compared to manual click. Maybe so, but now stryde known to have corrosion. Betzbone is made it cobalt chrome so no corrosion and no risk gas leakage.

So betz does seem like good alternative to stryde. But why are people so against it? They dislike it more than external methods haha

My personal limited view is that it seems like stryde and betz are competing products. So alot of shove shove happens. Eg just like Samsung VS Apple. Microsoft VS apple. Top 2 always gets the most heat.

I just want to know. Not trying to stir anything here.

Thanks guys

The Betzbone mechanism tends to fail.
In addition, the nail cannot go in reverse making nonunion much more likely.

Plus I've seen many betz patients do not do IT band release. And able to reach 8 to 9 cm with good PT.

How often does the mechanism fail?

Stryde is without a doubt the best implant. However, since it‘s gone, there is the option to go with Betzbone since it is weightbearing. The latest diaries have all been positive.
