From what I understood the high price of internal methods such as PRECICE/STRYDE is caused by the fact that these nails cannot be reused. External devices such as Ilizarov can be reused, therefore they are cheap.

Do you think it would be possible to make STRYDE nail reusable?

Maybe it doesnt make sense from a business point of view to make them reusable, because NuVasive wont sell anymore, so no more profit.

Quote from: wannagrowtaller on May 31, 2019, 10:14:45 AMMost internal nails don't have a reverse mechanism, so it would be impossible to reuse them just for this reason.

Doesnt PRECISE 1,2 and 3, all have reverse mechanism? These are the only relevant nails, because these are the expensive ones.

Would be cool if you could do femurs them reuse stryde for tibs following year

Yes, it would be possible, only if the nails could change its size, because different sizes are used in femur and tibia.
