2nd Lengthening - Tibia Lengthening

Edit Post

Hi everyone,

I am planning on having my 2nd lengthening. I had femur lengthening at the Paley Institute in 2019 with Stryde and had my nails removed in November 2021 as I couldn't fly back out to the US due to COVID. I have made a full recovery and am now ready for my Tibia lengthening next year. I just want to ask if anyone else had the Stryde nail and then the Precise after and if there is a huge difference in what you are able to do? I was able to do most things on my own with the Stryde and I am hoping as I only weight 90 pounds (148cm Female) I will be able to with the Precise 2.2 as it can weight bare 50lb on each leg I believe?

I would be grateful if those who have lengthened with the Precise can share there thoughts and experiences!

Thanks for your reply. Have you done Tibia with Precise? Can anyone tell me their experience if you was wheelchair bound for the 6 months or if you was using the walker / crutches? I have read that you will be using the crutches / walker but want to hear other peoples experiences?

Yes my gait is normal, I have made a full recovery and I can run, jog, jump I can do pretty much everything I could do before
