I heard that Nuvasive has allowed use of Precice worldwide. I am Indian and confirmed with Dr Parihar that Precice is available in India.

But is safety still something to be concerned about? Since it was NHS which first raised alarm, I am wondering if they have still disallowed the use of Precice in the UK.

The story seems quite sketchy to be honest, with Nuvasive first withdrawing all nails including Precice and then allowing Precice because it has a good 10 year track record. Why did they withdraw it in the first place then?

What are the British people doing these days for all limb lengthening needs?

I don't think the NHS cares about Nuvasive's take on the matter. If NHS discontinued Precice from their public health programme for millions of their citizens then it's something we should pay attention to. If NHS is using it then it gives me faith in Precice.

Quote from: Arctic on March 09, 2021, 03:56:57 PMPrecice 2.2 is still being used. Precice Stryde is what was recalled.

I heard it will probably take June/July until NHS allows Precice rods again. So, currently NHS does NOT allow Precice.

Stryde is quite uncertain, some sources stating it will be back in September and some stating it will be back only next year.
