NuVasive Stryde stopped shipping

Edit Post

I have just gotten a reply from Koehne regarding My Surgery next week. Its cancleed and according to him nuvasive will widraw the nails globally. I’ll be honest here, this is absolutely crushing. As a person of short stature your used to experiencing a lot of speedbumbs and things being out of your line of control, but this takes it to a another level. I’m very disappointed to say the least. Nuvasive did say the nail might be ready by may/ June, but I’ll take that with a grain of salt as of right now.

Damn sorry to hear man.

I contacted Dr Mahboubian and they said they are waiting to hear an update from Nuvasive's internal audit and will hear from them next week but I am unsure of what this means for future use of the nail over the next few weeks.

This is devastating, it just seems like its setback after setback. I am really unsure of what to do.

The May / June timeline is probably best case scenario. It could even be July / August till stryde is available again.

It seems Nuvasive is telling all doctors the issue will be solved by May/June, but it seems hard to trust them after this. My surgery is for July 7. I think I will try to move it to late July, also changing the dates for my Airbnb, I think that way I will have more margin... The thing is, worst case scenario, does anyone know if Precice 2 is available?

To the guys who want to do it with Giotikas this summer... If you want to you can PM and I will give my Whatsapp number so we can share information. This is such a mess

Precise-2 isn't available either. The whole Precise family has been recalled. Dr. Giotikas offered me to do external tibias but I just don't want to do that

Oh f**k. Then I really do expect their timelines are true and this doesn't take longer than summer. I can wait until september at worst...

This is good and bad, but above all safety is the number #1 priority. 
I’ll text Chris Yunker tomorrow afternoon and see if he has any updates or possible timeline.
For the meantime, let’s pray it’s just as simple as Dr. G informed.

I wrote to him and he said that they can't guarantee anything. but they are expecting it to be solved during quarter 2

This is terrifying. I haven't had any of the bony issues mentioned but the idea of microscopic pieces of the nails breaking off and potentially causing cancer scares the sh*t out of me! I have no idea when I'll be able to get the nails removed yet due to covid. How can a company that big be allowed to sell medical devices that haven't been fully tested? I'm really stressing out after reading all of this, I hope me and others dont end up as some horror report of cases gone wrong

I hear ya bro. even though the contents of that NHS letter are grim sounding nuvasive is like "ok dont worry, be good in 3 months". How the hell are they gonna prove in 3 months that it does NOT cause cancer or that weird bone thing is no big deal?

we gotta wait for the NHS to approve this nail again. UK has got one thing right  the NHS, God bless it. they really care for their country citizens and I hope they will thouroughly scrutinize nuvasive before unbannin the nail.

nuvasive is the best nail company so far, but I wouldnt take a corporate's word as the truth. big pharma will do anything to make big bucks.
