I left Homewood Suites exactly three weeks after the STRYDE patient's femurs surgery. He was walking slowly with crutches.

Yes, see earlier in the thread.

In that case, you should budget for about three months off work, if you can't work remotely.

During the time you're lengthening, you generally have to do that multiple times a day plus do stretches multiple times a day, AND you have to deal with pain, aching, swelling, .etc that can make it difficult to concentrate.  For the reasons, staff at the Paley Institute told me not to expect to be able to work full time, even remotely, during lengthening, and I think that advice is probably accurate for a lot of people.

Hi,

What is the recovery time for Stryde 3? Can I lengthen and return to work 16 days later? I don't mind walking with assistance, just need to sit at office job.

Thank you very much!!!
I'm glad to know the pain is supposed to diminish 3 weeks post surgery.

so far, I'm planning to do stryde with dr donghoon in korea and he has told me it's possible to go home in japan with the ERC, the remote controller, after a few weeks post op.
it is also possible to be hospitalized for 3 months or more since his new clinic supposed to have a fancy inpatient facility, which I kinda looking forward to seeing it...

Hi Chibi,

I also asked about STRYDE but have yet to receive a reply. Does Donghoon know when he expects to be able to use it?

His clinic is supposed to open this week , so maybe that's why he is toooo busy...

He still doesn't know or cannot disclose the availability of STRYDE in Korea yet as of the last month.
However, as I have read about the answer from the Greek doctor that the stryde should be released next January in Greece, I expect similar time span in Korea, but not for sure.

FYI, when precice2 was released in 2013,  it was released also in Korea only a few months after US,  according to the news release articles and LL diary.

I had a check up with Dr. Mahboubian today and I asked him if he will be using the Stryde nail in the future. He said he will be getting it at some point but he is not sure exactly when. He also added that he would need to see several successful cases of patients fully weight bearing while using Stryde before he would be comfortable letting his patients ditch the walker altogether during lengthening. With that being said, I think its probably going to be a little while before we see Dr's other than Paley using the new nail.

See as in examine? I talked with a STRYDE patient walking with crutches 1 week post op, and there are about 5 STRYDE patients at the Paley Institute now. He should take a trip there (5-6 hour flight from SoCal) and see them doing PT.

Thanks for your response to my question the other day.

Anyway, do you think STRYDE is safe to do in 2019 internationally? Or would you be less prone to trust the international docs until they have a more proven track record with it?

That’s something I’ve been thinking about too, I figured that the technique for inserting an iintramedullary nail has stated the same it’s jsut the nail Itself that’s changed. Like precice v1 vs precice v2. Idk though it’s a good question. Hopefully anyone that can insert a nail should be able to insert stryde. Id definitely like to hear paleys or nuvasives thoughts on this
