A few things from Donghoon Lee's patients

Edit Post

Quote from: TemakiSushi on April 28, 2018, 01:22:30 AMI could find the new clinic price only in Japanese.
Dr Donghoon told me that in Korea, the STRYDE, new version of precise, will not be released this year, could be in the next year.
anyway, his clinic will be the first in the Asia to have the STRYDE.
If you do a surgery this year at his new clinic, the prices is discounted.
His clinic even has a swimming pool for the better rehabilitation, I heard.

The columns show, 90 days, 120 days packages of Precise 2.3, and 120 days package of LON.
the first row with the lowest price is without accommodation and meals.
the second is with accommodation of group of 4 people and meals.
the third is a single room and meals.
the forth is a VIP room and meals.
the lowered prices are only applied this year.

please read my post carefully. Dr. Lee promoted his Precice2.3, which is not exist .
Because in Paley institution you could find Paley use precice2.2 to compare with Stryde
If 2.3 exist, Paley would use precice2.3 to compare with Stryde because P2.3is created after P2.2 definitely if P2.3 exist


The following is Quoted from Paleyinstitution

What is the difference between the P2.2 and the STD (STRYDE) nails?
The difference between the two nails is strength due to material, diameter and the design of the nail. The mechanism for lengthening is the same for both nails. The P2.2 is made of titanium, which is a more flexible and brittle metal. It can therefore bend and break more easily. It is fine for unilateral use but requires significant weight bearing restrictions for bilateral use. The STRYDE is made from Stainless Steel, which is stiffer and stronger. The mechanical testing of the STRYDE show that its bending strength to failure (yield strength) is approximately 1.5 times that of P2.2 and that its fatigue strength is nearly two times that of P2.2. (e.g. with the 11.5 nail the fatigue load for the 10.7 P2.2 nails is 118lbs vs. 244 for the 11.5mm STD; the fatigue strength for the 12.5mm nail is 146lbs for P2.2 vs. 320lbs for the 13mm STD nail). Similarly, for torsion loads, the STD is more than twice as strong.

Hi raku

Thanks for your information!  However, I don't quite understand why p2.2 or p2.3 matters.  I am sure that whatever Precice nail Dr. Lee uses is the latest Precice from the company.  Somehow Dr. Lee thinks the version of P nail they have is p2.3, based on their communication with the company.  Whether it is p2.2 or p2.3, they are all Precice. I don't think there is any significant difference between them, if p2.3 ever exists.

The newest version is indeed 2.3
Nuvasive confirmed
I think Paley’s secretary just hasn’t revised the documents
Nuvasive already revised Stryde too but no document states the number of minor version up
It’s a waste of time to worry such a minor thing

Wow, a crippled Donghoon patient. Never seen this before. Very very interesting.

Agreed, it would be better if we can be told straight up the % of risk we're signing up for when undergoing LL with different doctors.

That being said, I noticed that most poor results are from people who went past 5cm on tibias.

Confirmation bias, I can count on one hand the number of diaries where people did EXACTLY 5cm or less on tibias. Likewise I rarely see poor results from those who did 6cm and under on femurs. Wonder why?

Generally 5cm and under is pretty safe for femurs. I'm guessing the soft tissues adapt much more easily the less lengthening is done, this is where majority of complications arise is once you go past 5 cm and the soft tissues can't keep up.

Lee does like 90% LON tibia anyways
