Agree. Nuvasive is not the panacea for IM nails. Fit Bone worked very well for me.
Based from talking to my surgeon, it depends a lot on what each of the regulatory bodies requires from Nuvasive to be considered “fixed”. That’s not really clear to many of the surgeons now so it’s kind of unknown. It could be on time, ahead of schedule, it might be redesigned or not come back at all. From what it sounds like, making any plans around Stryde will not work out how you planned them. I mean just look at how its progressed so far: first it was a short recall, then a recall to end of year, and now its 2022/2023.
If you can handle the lifestyle of Precise 2.2, I can assure you it’s not a bad alternative. It’s not like it’s going back to the stone ages. I’m not weightbearing but I’m living life mostly normally right now otherwise. You adapt quickly.

The nail itself can be made of cobalt chrome. However it will always contain a ferrous compartment for the magnetic lengthening device to work. Remember it takes energy to lengthen the nail. Betz does it by making the patient mechnically rotate the nail, by twisting the leg. Stryde/Precise uses electricity to create magnitism to push out the nail (similar to how magnets of the same/different pole repel/attract each other).
Victor's most recent interview with Paley suggests a design change is most likely. This means another FDA approval. The man himself said early 2023 is most likely. Just forget about Stryde.

He said end of 23 not early.

I’ve heard similar pessimism from Dr Debiparshad as well. He also said there’s a small chance they can make minor changes and get out earlier. Also a chance “Stryde” isn’t coming back at all.
It looks like the "heyday" of cosmetic limb lengthening in western countries only lasted two years. I hope there's a weight bearing internal solution in the near future for those who want to have an easier time doing it solo.
I just hope Precice is back on Europe by September
