How many  CM did you do?  A signature/footer with your info would be helpful.

I'd love to hear Dr. Assayag's opinion about not removing the nail. I think sooner or later you will have to get nails removed the sooner the better and less painful. On top of corrosion risk there is also rigidity factor. Our bones are supposed to be somewhat flexible not solid rigid nail removes any flexibility.

Additionally, whether stryde or precise 2, the magnets with rare earth metals, should not be left in indefinitely per Paley. OP don't stress though as rod removal was basically an outpatient rough two days, much less trauma or pain than nail insertion surgery. Plus it allowed me a fuller more complete recovery which I think was from the screws being gone mostly for me

I’ve had no signs of Osteolysis and/or periosteal reactions.. the only thing that’s concerning is the corrosion aspect. I’ve read like 4 diaries of post nail removal that showed absolutely zero corrosion. 3 of them were mahboubian patients. 🤷‍♂️

You haven't seen corrosion in the patients you mentioned because they have the nails for as short time as they could after consolidation.
If they let them for years then you would have seen it.
Magnetic nails are not meant to stay forever like some titanium plates that don't cause any problem in the long run. If you don't remove them you will face serious risks without any real reason.

Does dr assayag still post here? Would love his take.

How useful is the swimming pool for precise tibias patients? Hyatt hotel has an indoor swimming pool but Novotel doesn't. Hyatt's more expensive though

what if you needed an MRI ? you can't do that with stryde nails in you

Definitely need to get the rods removed but only when the bone is sufficiently mineralized and consolidated.

Pool is always a good therapy option to help normalize gait, improve/maintain strength and enhance your balance. Additionally if the pool is heated, the warmth will be beneficial.
