Recently spoke to a doctor in North America who informed me that they were told by Nuvasive that the nail should return in July. Thoughts?
If this is indeed true; then it would be wise for prospect CLL'ers to wait until July to have their surgeries. I'm sure CLL'ers would love to hear more details and specifics regarding your conversation with the Doctor!
It seems different doctors have different opinions. Paley said he thinks more so early next year in his interview with cyborg while Mahboubian and Giotikas for example say August at the earliest. July would be indeed amazing but I am not sure how they would get it back on the market that quickly.
lol no
This would be the case if nuvasive's biocompatibility studies show that the corrosion is fine for health and has no serious health detriments. Meaning we all know the corrosion and bone changing is happening but doesn't harm us.
With how absolutely life changing the Precice Plate is and Precice Bone Transport is, this is a probably going to happen for at least these two nails.
It is possible they will reallow the Stryde while simultaneously reworking the Stryde.
However,
The opinion between most doctors is likely the Stryde will be reworked to prevent the corrosion impact on bones. And this entire year of 2021 is likely gone for the Stryde.
Even when Stryde returns, almost all the surgeons I talked to said they now have a huge waitlist of people who want to be “the first person to get Stryde when it’s back on the market”. So not only are you waiting for Stryde return, you’re waiting in line too.
Once I heard that I decided to suck it up and go for precise 2.2. It’s gonna suck (comparatively) but the ability to do something worse than ideal is way better than not being able to do it at all.
EDIT: plus for those who have $$$ as a concern, while the discount is small, it seems that most surgeons are charging 5-10k less for precise vs their original Stryde prices right now.

lunatics these patients are. The nail is showing changes to bone in a place far from the oseotomy and docs are sayin' "it should be mkay I think. the bone might remodel, I dunno, but yea it should be ok... the bone is becoming hollow inside but its also fattening outside so its ok... I think"
And when the nail is back people want to hop on without any doubt??
While I agree with your sentiment, I feel that most people who are willing to break their legs and permanently reduce functionality for cosmetic gain would not be concerned with slight bone growth/deformity.

actually I need to correct myself. the sinai docs said they would use stryde on their family members. So that means something. so Im wrong for writing this and I apologise.
