What price can we expect for the Precise Max nail within the US?
My budget is going to be about 80,000 (not considering nail removal).
Will this be possible within the US, or should I just consider planning to go abroad?
I’m assuming Paley institute will be the first ones to get them and they charge about 100,000 US.
Maybe the others will be cheaper but it will take a bit longer before they get them.
100k lol
Or you can do precice 2.2 for $70k and get on with it now.
What is the advantage of the new Precice Max over Precice 2.2?
Is Precise Max fully weight-bearing? I have heard that it is not.
Apparently it is weight bearing practically, just not licensed to be weight bearing by the FDA.
A doctor called Assayag said so in this forum a few days ago.
The difference is huge. So basically for most patients your're forced to walk with an walker or for heavier patients a wheelchair for usually 5-6 months!! With the Precice Max like the old stryde nail you can weightbear technically right after surgery however most patients can walk without any support while they're lengthening. It's technically also going to be more safe since nail breakage is most likely going to happen less and the risk of blood cloths is much lower since you will be allowed to move much more. So it's definitly in my opinion worth paying a little exstra for and waiting a couple of months if you're in the us.

I wonder like when you walk up and down stairs, as you put all the weight on one leg, if this puts the pressure beyond the weight bearing limit?

Seems as though Precice Max is only "partial weight bearing" and will only be considered partial weight bearing in the future. This is according to this post from Dr. Assayag. Seems as though they will need to conduct many more clinical trials, perhaps for years to come, in order to decide whether to give it a designation of more than 50 lbs partial weight bearing.

Is there a particular reason why LL is so expensive, especially the internal methods?
