Check this video out!!
Her walking is pretty ace while lengthening. She had stryde I think.
But check out the x ray at 1:10 and 0:57. Thats like a huge nail shoved into the bone. Is it okay?
Quote from: Michael J. Assayag, MD on July 01, 2020, 09:12:47 PMThe way you can differentiate different nail sizes is by looking at the locking screws.
All stryde nails have 5mm pegs at the female part (the large part of the nail)
the 10mm nail can be recognized because the female part is wider at the top( 10.7mm) so this is not a 10mm.
the 11.5mm nail has 4.5mm pegs in the male portion (they look smaller than the top screws)
the 13mm nail has 5mm screws in both locations and thus look the same.
This is how, ladies and gentlemen, you differentiate the nails just by looking at an X-ray
. This seems like an 11.5mm if I measure the proportion between top screws and nail. However those xrays are too blurry to tell for sure.

Is it a good idea to fit such a large nail inside the bones of a petite woman? In the above x-rays there is hardly any bone left to the sides of the nails. Is that ok? What could be a valid reason to not use stryde 10mm?
