1 Year Post-OP Hell - Stryde Nails

Edit Post

I did 8cm L.Femur Precice 2.2 about 3 years ago now, as I sit here the top of my knee is sore and twitching, some days are better than others, and the pattern to this is hard to dicern,. I hope this is not a lifelong annoyance. I can still function ok , but I do get tired more easily than before and my Anterior Frontalis (both legs) is very prone to getting tight and sore allmost any time i walk up an incline for over 20 meters.

Don’t you have an leg length discreptancy of 2-3cm? For all we know, that could be the sole reason for your complications. In addition you were in your 50s when you did the surgery. Both not exactly optimal for LL. so I don’t think your situation applies to the case movie has described.

In hindsight, so many people coming forward with lingering knee/pain problems post-CLL is really concerning. This goes against the claim that there are no complications from this surgery claimed by Paley and the other doctors. Has anybody tried stem cell therapy or any similar treatments to get rid of the pain? Would really like to know.

It can also be due to the corrosion with Stryde. The nail should go out as soon as possible.

The nails are only taken out when your bones have fully healed though right? That would take at least 1 year in that case.

Sometimes the lengthening nails get swapped for fixed nails before consolidation is finished.

From what I see in this thread everybody here did around 8cm.

The general consensus on this forum seems to be that over 6cm is risky.

Hi Movie... Just clarifying if you meant that this "Post OP Hell" only lasts a couple weeks?

Also question for the group...is it possible that another Dr. could remove the nails and have it covered by insurance? The greed of these doctors really frustrates me at times.

I hear the last 2cm hurts like a bitch.

That's what comes with breaking a bone, I know a lot of people who had fractures and had them repaired normally and will still feel some pains sometimes, my girlfriend for example fractured her elbow and in rare occasions it'll hurt.

dreamigtall: It lasted a couple weeks for some, for me it lasted the better part of a month. some people went that route yes.
