Dr. Paley & STRYDE:

"Currently they have done a limited release only to me. The 11.5mm nail is available, but by July we expect to have the 10mm and the 13mm in all the various length sizes available for both tibia and femur."

"The STRYDE increases the safe weight bearing limit depending on the diameter of the nail used. e.g. for the 11.5 mm nail the safe limit is 90kgs/200lbs per leg."

"This means that even right after surgery you can start weight bearing as tolerated and do not have to be careful how much weight you place with the walker or crutches. Then two or three weeks after surgery when you are pain free you are evaluated for the safe amount of weight you can place without crutches. If you pass this test e.g. when you stand on one leg you do not exceed 90kgs/200lbs, you can go full weight bearing without crutches."

"We do recommend using a cane for curbs or inclines and either a handrail or cane for stairs. The STRYDE makes rehab faster and helps prevent muscle atrophy. It also prevents muscle weakness. Therefore, the rehabilitation time after lengthening is faster. The lengthening rate and time and need for PT do not change."
