Hi all-I had the Stryde nail implanted in Sept 2019 and removed in October 2020. I heard about the pause recently so came on here to see what news I could find. Like a lot of you on here, I’m not 100% clear on the issue. I will say, I remember some of my early xrays looking like the one on this thread...my doctor never said anything about it not being normal...like everyone else here, I’ve looked at my fair share of xrays but am by no means an expert...that’s why we have doctors! With my lengthening (not CLL, was an LLD)...I literally had 0 complications with it. So, I certainly hope they work out the issues quickly for all of your waiting for your surgery.
The other thing I will add...not sure if it’s psychological or physiological but I felt an immediate improvement after the rod was removed...it’s very heavy (I actually got to keep my rod after removal) so not sure if that’s it or if it’s just in my head lol...but I strongly recommend getting it out. The recovery is longer than 1-2 weeks...it’s more like 4 weeks but worth it. You can look at my patient experience story on this forum for more info or I have a youtube channel “Pulling my leg” that should be easy to find.
Is anyone considering moving forward with Precice 2 in the second half of March?

Thanks man for your anecdote. Helps relieve some fear. Glad you're doing good man
There is probably a good reasoning to call back the nails and re-test it. However, there is also a need to check the functionality of the electromagnetic controllers as well. I have seen or heard it fail and give unexpected errors on a few patients, which required replacement or intervention from the company
what is surgery date

Hi, how did you feel when you still had the rod inside? Were there more pains? And how was the sleep while you had the rod?
Hello, first post. I am a 51 y/o male who did the stryde and gained the full 8cm on both femurs; consolidation began 1 month ago. What has precipitated this post is the "recall" and my doctor asking me to get a cobalt and chrome blood test. Any insight on these two elements in relation to the recall? thanks!
How come the FDA.. did not pick up.. on this matter? But the UK ... NHS did..
It's just shows poor patient care ... The UK.. NHS has a stricter policy.. It will put the UK Patients 1st.. the Stryde will have to pass a very tough test.. with the UK.. before it can go out on the Market for patients!!!!!
... I may go with the precise 2.. I'm not sure if I can wait for another year.. I feel sorry for the patients who were have recently booked with the Stryde.. I hope this matter is sorted out quickly

Who is your Doctor... and where did you get your surgery done.. and how do you feel.. with the new height? Was it worth it ?
