NuVasive Stryde stopped shipping

Quote from: AllAboutPerspective on February 01, 2021, 01:56:14 PMI went to my pre-op today, my surgery was supposed to be in two days but Dr. Giotikas cancelled it because NuVasive are recalling all nails as of today.

Honestly I'm devastated. All my plans are ruined and I spent a lot of money to get to Greece and prepare everything. I even met someone on this forum and we are sharing an apartment together, he already had his surgery 3 weeks ago so it's ruined it for both of us.

I just can't believe I came this far and now I can't do it until the summer. And I'll potentially have to do it alone rather than doing it with someone. Ah I'm just so upset.

WOW dude. I am so sorry that happened to you man. That f**king sucks. Words cannot describe how angry I am at what happened to you.

I'm sorry dude.

I really hope there is not something really dangerous going on with that nail that led doctors to stop using it asap and in a few days things will get back to normal.

Giotikas told me that he has stock for like 3 months, and that all doctors (Paley, etc) were going on with their surgeries too. However, it seems that Nuvasive recalled all devices today... That sucks, you can't cancel somebody's surgery like that, lots of money and planning involved. He does say that the issue will be solved before summer, and that his sources in Nuvasive say that around May, but of course, how could you not be worried after a cancelation like this?

He does have stock, and we even had a call on Saturday discussing the problems and if I wanted to go ahead anyway. He said the problems with the nail aren't serious at all and agreed that I should go ahead with it. But today Nuvasive has officially recalled the nails, so he can't even use the ones he has in stock

Thanks man. I'm devastated. I planned so much and now I have to fly back to my country. I just can't believe it

I wasn't too worried about the problems because they aren't serious. Dr. Giotikas said the company cares about their image, and their stock price, so they decided to take no chances and just recall all the nails

Hi, thanks a lot for the update, and I think it really sucks what happened. I honestly hope the whole thing is solved quickly, but let's see. This has also changed my plans, but better safe and do it a bit later than sorry.

I contacted Debiparshad and his office said this:  There are no confirmed biological safety issues with these products.

Release was issued in UK and Ireland for a. Gaps in material testing b. Lack of testing in pediatric use. Their MRA like our  FDA - requested more testing.  The company is trying to resolve that issue.   We have not had a recall here in the States. We have continued to do the leg lengthening procedure.
I can check on the precice 2 nail.  You would have to stay here the whole duration of the distraction using that nail.

That's horrible man. Really fked up, especially since you had already flown into Greece. I had a call with Giotikas yesterday and we decided to go ahead but now that Nuvasive has recalled all nails, I assume I will get notice that my surgery in March has been cancelled too.

Does anyone know if the US doctors will continue to be able to use stryde? I assume Nuvasive will recall nails globally.

Are there any other alternatives to stryde at the moment that are good options? I had planned my entire life/job around doing surgery in March and now I'm screwed.
