Dr. Axel Becker, specialist in aesthetic leg lengthening
BETZ-INSTITUTE founder Prof. Augustin Betz
Prof. Augustin Betz is the founder of the BETZ INSTITUTE® and he is renowned internationally as one of the best surgeons in his field. He has perfected minimally invasive techniques for limb lengthening over a period of more than 20 years. This has made him one of the most experienced cosmetic and reconstructive orthopaedic surgeons in the field of limb lengthening.
The BETZBONE® limb lengthening technology developed by Prof. A. Betz is now being developed to new levels of perfection by his long-term cooperation partner and successor Dr. Axel Becker and it is used in the current lengthening concept at the BECKER-BETZ-INSTITUTE in Freiburg.
Dr. Axel Becker is one of the world’s leading limb lengthening specialists
“Since the very start of my medical career as a specialist in plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon, I have focused on the special area of limb lengthening through intramedullary load-bearing elements. The possibility of helping patients who suffer because of their short stature has been a key driving force up to the present day. My various specialist medical trainings combine orthopaedics and surgery with cosmetic requirements.
The priority in this is the excellent, sustainable therapeutic success of my patients.
Specialist area: Cosmetic limb lengthening
In 2013 I designed my first fully implantable nail for limb lengthening. I got to know Prof. Betz and the BETZ INSTITUTE® while undertaking the development of this nail. The nail developed there (BETZBONE) overcame all the issues which concerned me with other implants. This marked the beginning of the successful collaboration and cooperation which has continued to this day. I use the limb lengthening method with BETZBONE®, which I developed, and which is in demand internationally, very successfully in my practical and practice clinic BECKER-BETZ-INSTITUTE in Freiburg.”
“We are aware of, and we take into consideration the individuality, culture and the values of our patients from a very wide range of countries and cultural milieux.”
Dr. Axel Becker
