The cosmetic lengthening version of this new Cobalt Chrome nail by NuVasive will be marketed as the STRYDE. Release date will be in approximately 6 months. A true game changer in cosmetic lengthening. Full weight bearing with crutches from day one, complete freedom of mobility, possible continuation of employment with minimal downtime (office work), millimeter by millimeter accuracy with screen read out on ERC, reverse function to prevent runaway nail or treat complications.

This will be really gamechanging. I look forward to this hitech nail as it will be the one I'll use for my LL if prices are not much more than precise 2.

Thanx for the info Stadiometer!!

Quote from: ShortLivesMatter on January 06, 2018, 05:39:35 PMVery excited for this especially with the ability to continue working, however if it's full weight bearing how come crutches are still required?  I don't know if I want to be in crutches at work for 4+ months.

Crutches will be required for safety precautions, assist with balance, help prevent slipping, other various reasons. Don't forget that you will be walking with two broken legs, safety is the highest priority. For most people spending 3-4 months on crutches at the office is better than losing 3-4 months of income.

You're welcome! Prices have not been decided, but it seems that more and more affordable options for PRECICE/STRYDE specialists are coming along every year. Case in point is Dr. Dimitrios Giotikas in Athens, Greece. That makes close to half a dozen doctors who now offer this surgery with PRECICE at or below $50,000 U.S. Dollars. That bodes well for keeping prices more affordable when the STRYDE is eventually released.

Thank you for the information! Internal lengthening with full weight bearing nail is long-awaited dream of all LLers... I'm doing 5-6cm on tibia externally this year and then waiting for this nail, which I think is the best strategy.

Hey Stadiometers, where can I find more information about Stryde? Can't seem to find anything.

I doubt it can be weightbearing for lengthening, as the weak part is not the nail itself, but the screws. When the screws support all your weight, bone is remodeled around the screws and the eventually get loose.

You have a point.
But guichetnail, betznail and albizzia generally are full weightbearing so I can't understand why that "stryder" can't be.

Your statement is incorrect. If you consult with any of the surgeons assisting with the research and development of the STRYDE they will educated you further.

You can contact NuVasive who will be manufacturing and marketing the STRYDE, you can contact the surgeons who are assisting with the research and development. There are many entities who have been aware of this nail for sometime now.

Gotcha. I did manage to find one Stryde reference on Glassdoor, unfortunately the post has been deleted. This is a screenshot of the cached page.
