PRECICE UNYTE Cobalt Chrome (PRECICE v3.0)

Quote from: Stadiometers on January 09, 2018, 10:22:23 PMYou're welcome! The expectation is that being able to legitimately weight bear will make the physical therapy sessions smoother, soft tissue soreness and joint stiffness will be reduced, maintaining employment during the lengthening will reduce the overall cost by removing the loss of income factor.

In addition to all of the above expected improvements, the psychological benefit that comes with living a more normal life during lengthening can not be over stated. If you choose one of the top surgeons, who has a proven track record of your health's best interest in mind, then limb lengthening is almost entirely mental. Replace being mostly confined to a couch or bed with freedom of mobility, and you make an order of magnitude improvement to the process.

So the current nails which are advertised as full weight bearing are misleading?

Hopefully the precise stryde nail is around the same price as the current precise.

One of the huge drawbacks to the precise is the inability to fully weight bear, and this new nail would be a game-changer.

Does anyone know for how long crutches have to be used with Stryde ?
Can it be just a couple of months or less ?

If you are capable of fully weight-bearing during the lengthening process, you can speed up the generation of bone. So you will definitely be on crutches for a shorter amount of time. It depends on how fast your body can regenerate bone.

Hello, are you going to Russia in summer to get ready for the doctor? I am also going to Russia in summer. (I use google translator)

Benefits of the upcoming STRYDE nail as described by a limb lengthening surgeon who currently uses the PRECICE nail.

1. Prevent dis-use osteoporosis, which could weaken the native bone, resulting in fractures around the implant

2. Improve re-generate bone healing

3. Robust rehabilitation leading to improved limb function

4. Faster gait normalization 

5. Eliminate the stigma and awkwardness of using a wheelchair

All this is too generic,who is this surgeon ?

NuVasive is anticipating a decision from the FDA on the STRYDE within 30-90 days. If all goes as expected, cosmetic patients would have access to the nail this summer, as I detailed earlier. Price has not yet been determined.

Great news guys!!

I found a video from some ortho conference where Paley was talking about stryde


so the new nails comes in 3 diameters and have the withstand of fatigue load(million cycles) of 167, 225, 320Lbs. I think he made mistake when he was talking about nails size but the presentation is clear(well you can assume)
10mm - 167lbs
11.5mm 244lbs (I think coz the presentation is not very clear)
13mm  320 lbs

Screen shot from the presentation
https://imgur.com/a/fodRB it's 244lbs for the 12.5 mm nail calculated on the 10mm and 13 mm nails.

So by just looking at it you can assume that most of LL patients will be able to weightbear right away if the nail is 11.5 and its actually the most common nail used for cosmetic patients.
