Is Stryde really safer if they have no experience using it yet and the method of inserting it is virtually the same? I believe the only difference is the weight bearing is much faster. From my understanding there is conflicting evidence about whether weight bearing is essential in speeding up bone growth? So I see no technical benefit other than comfort? From a medical standpoint it's not safer?

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but I see nothing about STRYDE that makes it a "safer" option?

It should be more comfortable, and I do believe early movement stimulates bone growth.

The other thing that makes it technically safer is that you won't be stuck to a bed without moving your legs for too long. Hence, only one month of Xarelto (an anticoagulant, a.k.a. blood thinner). This technically diminishes the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) too. I wouldn't say by that much because it's not like you'll be immediately moving post-surgery, but anyway.
