Why do fully external tibia and then stryde femur. Why not just do stryde tibia and then stryde femur. It's not that much more money considering you don't have to wear those bulky frames for half a year. Much more convenient that way for walking sleeping showering and everything else.

Yes +11 or +12 no matter the main one is to take the least risk. I think that as you told him how much of each one's body. But anyway both of them suit me Dr Dimitrios Giotikas (Athens, Greece)

Yes you're absolutely right I thought about it! I will send an email tomorrow to know if it is possible to do stryde on tibia in the month of November and how much it will cost! I will give you the answers !

Thanks for you’re help !

“ Stryde nail will be commercially available in the European Union no earlier than the beginning of next year. The exact prices are pending to be announced.”

Do you think that with stryde, as it provides you to hold your weigth, you will have a better bone growth, because you could walk soon??

The last part is true, but it is considerably more money. 20k extra to save extra is something i'd consider quite a huge difference.

Hi can anyone advise roughly what difference in time this new stryde nail could make to returning to normal?

I understand weight bearing should be possible at an earlier stage but what does that mean exactly?

If it allows weight bearing after  4 -6 weeks does that just mean you will be using crutches still or will you be able to almost walk almost normal after this period and still be adjusting for bone growth?

In comparison to precise 2 if i wanted to lengthen the max recommended on femur which i understand to be 7cm to 8cm, with the stryde when can i expect to be walking without crutches?

As for the exact number, it is rather complicated to give because of the internet connection that there is in Greece (cut it often).

The online consultation is via skype and the connection was not very good. In other words, I could not hear the exact numbers! Sorry
