Quote from: lucindaris on April 15, 2018, 12:29:27 PMI got similar photos from this new clinic and indeed it looks awesome, better than some clinics who perfom this in Europe. But according to community it's easier to say third word and go for Guichet to lose small fortune.

For my curiosity, do you know if they will start Stryde next year in vietnam?

Dr Donhoon in Korea has just told me that it's possible to have the Stryde next year in korea.
Now Im thinking about going to korea then instead of going to florida this year.

Unfortunately i don't know. I heard they will use internals, but not sure if Stryde.

Does anyone know how long the recovery time is from Stryde? I understand you can lose the crutches by week 3, but does this mean that normal walking is achieved sooner? If any of Dr. Paley's patients who are planning on undergoing this or are having consultation with him could ask, that would be much appreciated.

This game changing technology from NuVasive has now officially arrived. The first patient in the world is set to have the full weight bearing STRYDE nails implanted this month at the Paley Institute.

Weight bearing capacity:
10(mm) Nail - 75(kg) 167(lbs)
11.5(mm) Nail - 110(kg) 244(lbs)
13(mm) Nail - 145(kg) 320(lbs)


Dr. Paley describes the STRYDE nail beginning at 47:09

Interesting how they got rid of the 8.5mm Precice 2 nail.

I don't know if NuVasive got rid of the 8.5(mm) nail for the STRYDE version. That particular diameter nail is not routinely implanted in adults. Normally reserved for children or adult patients with very small bone canal space.

As I understand it the STRYDE is the name the Precice 3 has adopted for CLL patients which would be adults only as I remember Paley mentioning growth plate should be closed for CLL.  The name for Precice 3 for procedures which are not for cosmetic reasons I believe is still UNYTE and this may well still be available in a diamètre of 8.5 or similar as these procedures are quite often carried out on children who have smaller bones.  This is just my theory, I may be wrong.

Wait... when you say 'lose the crutches in 3 weeks', does that mean 3 weeks post-op or post the end of lengthening?

If you can lose the crutches in just 3 weeks, what does that mean for total recovery time? How fast can one start walking unaided post op?

And does lose the crutches = getting back to normal life like driving, going to work, etc.

3 weeks after surgery means 3 weeks after surgery. Not after the end of lengthening.

I dont think the consolidation will be much faster but who cares if you can do almost anything without support?
And yes, if this nail is truly full weight bearing yoi would do all your everyday activities (driving, walking) without problems but you should be more careful with stairs and with puting extra weight like in gym. I would avoid those things.

Anyway, stryde will change completely LL for the better. Im looking forward to see the first diaries with that nail to see if it is really that good.

yes this is a major breakthrough. unless you have small bones and need 8.5 nails. in which case you don't get stryde. you get unyte which isn't full weight bearing i think.
