​​

Tibia lengthening with PRECISE-2 nails: 42400 Euro

Tibia lengthening with STRYDE* nails: 48535 Euro

Four segment lengthening in two stages. The second stage is scheduled at least two weeks after the first stage.

Femurs and tibias with STRYDE nails: 93045 Euro

Femurs and tibias with PRECISE-2 nails: 78910 Euro


What I'm wondering is this. How much do you really save going with Precise 2 instead of Stryde? Precise 2 is cheaper but Stryde you recover faster? Say you are doing this with Guichet in Athens, Greece

I plan to do all internals with Giotikas in Greece for Tibia and femur

"1. Precise will require stronger blood thinner (although some stryde patients will also need it due to blood clots), which could be expensive if you don't have good insurance."

a. Oh.... how much does it usually cost? I won't have insurance in Greece with Giotikas, I'm from USA

b. What are your thoughts overall on precise 2 vs stryde? The recall/talk of osteolysis (not sure right word) w/ stryde is scaring me.

"3. Your walking recovery will be 2-3 months behind that of Stryde. If your job requires in-person physical activities, there will be a loss of income of additional 2-3 months (unless you have paid absence under certain circumstances)."

Thank you!!!

Can you leave Greece and go back to USA within 7 months for internal femurs and tibias though still? Does the 2-3 month extra only refer to time after I go back to America?
