it wouldnt let me attach the image for some reason
as you can see
the smallest nail allows you to weight bear 69kilos or 150lbs
and the thicker the nail, the more weight you can support
Stryde is full weight bearing.
Don't go with Guichet or Betz.
Betz is known for neglecting/abandoning patients with complications and often advises patients to go beyond the safe limits (>8cm femur and >5cm tibia).
Guichet crippled Unicorn and another patient (Yush Gupta) died under his care.
In addition, the Guichet nail and Betzbone don't have a reverse feature, so in a nonunion the nail often has to be replaced with a normal trauma nail, halting lengthening and requiring more cost and pain.
If you want a good doctor in Europe, go with Dr. Giotikas.

I’m a Betz patient and everything is going well. Youve never done LL so why are you here making a bad reputation about betz or guichet.
You act like youre experienced in this area without ever having done LL
