NuVasive Stryde stopped shipping

Edit Post

I hope it turns out that Nuvasive is simply doing its due diligence to keep people safe. It would be not nearly as "fun" to learn that there are serious concerns with these intramedullary nails still.

Quote from: ghkid2021 on January 27, 2021, 04:49:28 PMI 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.

What diaries had this? And how much do u press

There are still other nails (or even externals for tibia), but I hope that this problem is solved soon, because there are a lot of people who need this surgery, for cosmetic or medical reasons. Stryde was a great improvement to the procedure.

Let's hope it gets solved soon

this is worrying. if the NHS bans stryde nail that is breaking news. was stryde hurried ? is good old external frames the king after all this? how did FDA approve this if there were such major concerns?

can any Paley or dr. Debiparshad patients ask them about this? They have a great relationship with Nuvasive (first and second to implant stryde respectively). They have both been vocal about stryde being the best, so we should know what they have to say.

I like how dr. Rozburch was a little cautious from the beginning to his patients. He said stryde is still new, lets wait awhile before implanting it.

Before all of this happened Giotikas told me about that bony thing, but said that it has no bad effects: it just happens and they don't know why, so they have to look into it. I'm hopeful it gets solved soon

Here it is from Nuvasive: https://www.boa.ac.uk/uploads/assets/1b8d2c68-b020-4c0c-bdf4cbb66b23d583/NuVasive-Field-Safety-Notice.pdf

My English is bad, but I think it says Q2 2021 (Quarter two I guess?).

This is really bad news. So now if someone wants to do an LL surgery and was counting on Stryde, what other options/surgeons are there for a weight bearing nail?

Edit Post

If it's solved in quarter 2 2021, I think it's better to just wait a few months

i have enquired with dr. koehne, who is in direct contact with nuvasive. they say it will take till quarter 3, which basically means it could take till quarter 4. so everybody who was planning on doing stryde this year, better put your plans on hold or check alternatives surgery method. this could be the covid-19 of ll.
