Hey all,
I'm really stuck, could use your help. This surgery has been my dream, right when I was ready, they removed the Stryde nail. Now I'm stuck in the above decision to make. Do I get Precice next month, or do I wait for Stryde? Would love any insight. Male, mid 30s, femur aiming for 8cm.
Thanks guys
If your goal is recovery before COVID ends so that you can return back to social life ASAP, then use Precice.
If your goal is to minimize pain and streamline the recovery process, then wait for Stryde.
In the U.S. it is predicted that life will be back to mostly normal by August & September timeframe. Therefore, if you do Precice now, it's possible to be weightbearing by this fall. If you wait for Stryde, you will take the risk of taking a bigger hit on social life post-COVID.
How long does it take to recover to full weight bearing with Precise 2.2? I'm in the same situation. I can only do it in June and I need to recover as quick as possible so I can start working.

From the precise diaries on here, it roughly takes 4-5 months to be able to weight bear without a walker depending on the amount of length you do. 5cm will likely take 4 months while 8cm will be closer to 5-6 months. Precise is a great nail and it works well but this is the main reason I decided against it as not being able to at least walk with crutches during lengthening is a deal breaker for me.
Thanks. I'm planning on doing 8cm femur. I start my work in September so I want to get this done before working. Waiting for Stryde is risky because I don't know how long till it comes back to the market.
Doing Precise this June means that I will be back to weight bearing by October the earliest. This is tough

You shouldn’t be waiting. Do it asap. You can be back on your feet before Stryde is available, and before school starts.
You cannot wait bear with precise so why even bother. Wait for stryde of course
some guy on the nuvasive "stopped shipping" thread, hinted that there is a possiblity stryde wont release again ever. the news are getting darker by the day on this forum.

Cannot comment on that to be honest but would that not raise concerns with people who have already got stryde installed? I mean, if they never release it again it means something is seriously wrong with it and in that case that would be rather concerning for those who already have it done.
