Hi,I am a mother of 12-year-old girl. She is 4'7 . Her growth plates are closed due to early puberty. The amount of guilt and shock I feel is almost unbearable.Please share any info that you know if it is easier for kids and women? We are thinking about Stryde /femur surgery .I don't want her to be a little person.I hope for her to be at least 4'10.
yes,she is normal human,who was supposed to be 5'0 -5'2.But early puberty suppressed her growth.I had no idea. I skipped her wellness check last year out of fear for COVID.I am not sure if I will ever will be able to forgive myself.

May I ask what’s your daughter’s weight? If she’s under 45kg, Precice 2 is a good option! I have a girlfriend (156cm, 45kg) just had her surgery done with Precice 2 on femurs. She originally wanted to do Stryde too, but after discussing method options with the doctor, she chose Precice 2 (Size 10.7). According to Nuvasive Precice 2 is not weight bearing due to its material. But the doctor said, based on his experience, Precice 2 actually can bear the weight of a skinny girl. And he is right. My girlfriend were walking with walker on the third day of surgery. She has now lengthened over 1cm, and she does PT standing and walking (with walker) everyday. Her X ray shows that she is completely fine.
No need to say, Precice 2 is way cheaper too 
With the price difference, if she’s willing to, she could even have her tibias done. Femurs 7cm + tibias 5cm is safe.
It’s my opinion. Hope it helps
She is 100 pounds !Thank you so much for your kind words and the information about your GF.
Quote from: Mary on February 21, 2021, 08:03:06 AMI can understand you very well. A few days ago I learned that my 14 year old daughter will stay 146 cm forever. I went to doctor pili in Rome and we are thinking about stryde on the femurs for at least 5/6 cm.
I'm scared
Hi Mary ,
I am scared also ,how does your daughter feel about the surgery?
Quote from: Jcorleone on February 27, 2021, 12:08:03 AMI suggest you get a personalized consultation for this. In your case, Dr.Kevin Debiparshad of LimbplastX Institute will probably be the best opt.
We are going to talk to Dr Debiparshad this coming Thursday.My concern is that he mostly operates on adult patients.
Quote from: KawhiJumpah (ghkid2021) on February 27, 2021, 03:27:17 AMKids cannot use Precice nails (includes stryde, which is gone) anymore after the recall. Your daughter will not be able to do LL, probably for a long time, as they have willingly retracted their Precice nails with one of the reasons being lack of testing in children and safety testing
tldr; you have to be 18 to do precice 2.2. and stryde is officially recalled by them so no stryde is availible for anyone as of right now.
Interesting,we did talk to regional sales manager for Precice.He told us that stryde most likely will be available by July of 2021.
