Well that document only talks about the UK so I don't know.  But assuming the exact same product is being marketed everywhere then surely we can expect the same issue to be present regardless of where it is used.

Why is it that only Styde has been suspended and not precise 2?

Did Stryde have negative effects that Precise 2 did not have?

They have all been suspended.

It specifically says Stryde patients have had issues of "pain and bony abnormalities" at the site of the telescoping mechanism, but the Brits have other, more general concerns about the whole family of products.

its not telescopic only , many cases of screws breaking too.

I have read many diaries regarding that bony thing regarding stryde. It's like a bone outgrowth or something and Dr. M tells patients to press on it consistently and eventually it subsides. No one knows what it is. Didn't really do anything negative as far as I'm aware of.

How can  they say it is full weight bearing , what does it meaning full weight bearing??

Giotikas did told me about that bony thing, but said it was nothing to really worry about
