He pressed on it and it slowly dissipated, I think lol. No problems

I just commented about this on another thread so you can ignore than now. Thanks for linking this! Always providing the best info...

Man this sucks !! I wanted to have the surgery during the pandemic. Does anyone have any new information about this situation

Edit Post

The document also mentioned wanting to do more study of "biological endpoints", which means microscopic pieces of the nails are breaking off and they don't know where all of them are going inside the body.

I wonder what it's made of.

Dr. Giotikas is really confident that the issue will be solved before summer. I'm sending emails to Nuvasive and another doctors in order to know their opinions, but no answer yet

Giotikas is the biggest LL centre in Europe so he might have some priviledged inside information. The truth is nobody really knows.

Yeah, that's what I hope. My surgery is in July and I told him twice that my airbnb is not refundable if I don't cancel it right now, and he told me that they "confidently anticipate" that the issue will be solved in May, so no need for cancelation. I want to believe that he is quite sure about it, but of course, I'm really worried lol. I will try to contact nuvasive and other doctors in order to know their estimations

Nuvasive says the issue will be solved in the second quarter of this year (april, may, june). If that's true I would be quite relieved

My surgery is in 5 days with Dr. Giotikas.

Not what you wanna see days before your surgery lol

Don't worry, it's not a mayor problem. In fact I envy you, I'm not even sure I will be able to have Stryde in July¡¡ Congrats man, everything will be perfectly fine

Yeah he might say that, but to me it seems more like "yeah, come to me so I can take your money, it's safe". But could he commit to have in written form (which would legally bind him) that he is certain that that nail doesn't cause any weird side effects on the body or even cancer? Probably not. The Field safety notice the company has produced is stating even carcinogenic, they wouldn't put that on paper lightly. Just my opinion.

I don't want to bash that doctor specifically, I would say any doctor doing stryde while the investigation is going on would seem irresponsible to me. I came in contact with Dr. Donghoon Lee few days ago, and he had retired the stryde nails, as an example. That doctor I would trust 10x more.

In fact for you it might be ok, since your surgery is in July and they might have already cleared this out by then. But how many others will have done the procedure until then?
