Dear all,
I don't want to spam the forum with repetitive posts (reference to my earlier posts), but I just learnt about STRYDE's arrival to the market (for now with Paley and, hopefully WW in 2019) and in this light i am trying to gather more perspective here.
Why tibia? i have already long femurs - super long for my body
why STRYDE - cause having this surgery in my 30th in the US and not in my 20th somewhere in Russia (i am Russian, would be theoretically a little easier task than for some LLers) with STRYDE makes me feel less guilty for not doing LL earlier.
a question - I am a female and skinny and small-boned, so you know the odds are against me proceeding with internal tibias -BUT - can a STRYDE nail diameter be small enough to do this procedure internally on tibias for a petite female?
PS: f...k me for not doing this with Solomin 10 years ago!
internal tibia for a female - not a possibility - even with STRYDE?

Why don't you just ask Paley by email that very same question? He seems to answer all emails in a timely manner and he'd know more than anyone. At the end of the day I think you'll be fine considering women of smaller stature and weight are operated on very frequently.

As somebody already said - check with Paley directly, express your concern exactly as you have here, except for the last sentence (PS: f...k me for not doing this with Solomin 10 years ago!), btw I am willing to oblige you if the offer is till valid, hahahaha, LOL

No one on this forum can answer this question. You will need a proper examination including xrays etc.

Creepy.
When you find out, do let us know. Someone wrote a while ago that it is the size of the bone canal that matters and it doesn't directly correlate with the bone diameter.
Also, as far as I know, Solomin doesn't offer cosmetic lengthening to Russian patients. He is a highly regarded orthopaedic surgeon in St Petersburg. CLL which he only offers to foreigners is his "hobby" on the side. Kulesh does offer cosmetic leg lengthening to Russian patients though.
If you can't handle precise 2, you can't have stryde too.
However, you are in Rusia where external tibias is terribly cheap and Solomin seems a good doctor. Why not doing it ther with 5-6k euros and you want to spend 10× more for stryde? External tibias is very safe so, except from some scarring, I don't see why you precer stryde for a so big difference on money.
Also, how tall are you?
There are many reliable surgeons doing externals in Russia in many cities (Moscow, Volgograd, Kurgan to name a few). And it doesn't even cost Eur6k. Foreigners are charged much more than the locals. (I'm Russian).
But external lengthening is a young man's game. I'm assuming, a woman in her 30s is not necessarily keen to spend up to a 1.5 years in bulky frames. She might have children, a demanding job and a busy life. Scars from externals are also much worse than surgical scars. Sometimes, even surgical revision can't improve them. I don't know what the OP's reasons are but these would be mine.
