Question 47: How Do I Know If My Bone Is Healing Correctly? 🦴

Between check-ups, healthy bone healing is usually reflected in steady progress and how your body feels. Gradual improvement in stability, controlled movement, and manageable discomfort are all positive signs.

Regular X-rays and follow-up appointments are the most reliable way to confirm proper bone regeneration and alignment. Even between visits, our team remains available to guide you and review your progress if any concerns arise. Careful monitoring and communication ensure your healing stays on the right track throughout the lengthening and consolidation phases.

Question 46: What Should I Bring When Traveling to Germany for Surgery? ✈️

When preparing for your stay in Germany, it’s helpful to pack both practical and personal essentials. Important documents such as your passport, visa (if required), medical records, and travel insurance should be easily accessible. Comfortable clothing, loose-fitting pants, and supportive shoes are recommended for the recovery period.

You may also want to bring personal items that help you feel at home, such as chargers, toiletries, and any daily medications you take. Everything else, including medical care, guidance, and on-site support, will be coordinated by our team to ensure your stay is as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Question 45: Does Limb Lengthening Affect Flexibility, and Can I Regain Full Range of Motion? 🧘

During the lengthening process, muscles and soft tissues are gradually stretched, which can temporarily reduce flexibility. This is a normal part of the journey. With consistent physiotherapy, daily stretching, and guided exercises, flexibility can be maintained and steadily improved throughout recovery.

Most patients are able to regain, and often fully restore, their range of motion once lengthening is complete and consolidation progresses. Commitment to rehabilitation plays a key role in achieving smooth, natural movement long term.

Question 44: Are there any activities that must be avoided completely during lengthening?❓

Some activities must be completely avoided during the lengthening phase to ensure safe progress and protect your bones, muscles, and the implant. High-impact actions such as jumping, running, sprinting, and heavy lifting are not allowed. Any movement that puts sudden force or torsion on the legs must also be avoided.

These restrictions are temporary, but extremely important. Your bones are in a delicate state while they grow, and your muscles and nerves need time to adapt to the new length.

With controlled mobility, daily walking, and consistent stretching, you can still stay active, safely. As soon as the doctor confirms that consolidation is progressing well, more activities will gradually be reintroduced.

Question 43: What Is the Most Common Mistake During the Lengthening Phase❓

The biggest mistake patients make is underestimating the importance of daily stretching and physiotherapy. Consistent mobility work is essential to keep muscles flexible and prevent tightness as the bones lengthen. When stretching is skipped or not done correctly, it can lead to stiffness, discomfort, and slower progress.

Another common issue is lengthening too fast or too slow without following medical guidance. The ideal pace is crucial for healthy bone growth and overall safety.

With commitment to the recommended exercises and careful adherence to the prescribed lengthening speed, patients can achieve smooth, steady progress throughout the journey.

Question 42: What Happens if I Lengthen at the Wrong Speed❓

The speed of lengthening is one of the most important factors for a safe and successful outcome. If you lengthen too quickly, the bone and soft tissues may not keep up, which can lead to muscle tightness, nerve irritation, or delayed bone formation. Lengthening too slowly can also affect bone regeneration and may prolong the entire process unnecessarily.

With the BETZBONE system, your progress is closely monitored through regular check-ups and X-rays to ensure the ideal pace is maintained. If an adjustment is ever needed, our team will guide you immediately. Staying consistent and following the recommended speed is key to healthy bone growth and a smooth recovery.
