The Stryde nail is available now and the cost and accomodation would be very convenient for me given it's pretty close to where I live but the lack of number of cases done (zero in Stryde yet) is a little concerning despite Dr. Parihar's good reputation, although he does undertake a lot of deformity cases.
"Stryde nail is available - has only recently been available in India, so we haven't done any with the Stryde yet. However the technique is similar to the Precice 2, which we have done 6 in Femur & 2 in Tibia.
The cost for the Stryde nails is INR 23,50,000/- and additionally the hospital cost is around INR 9,00,000/-
The removal is done minimum after 2 years - the cost can therefore vary - the current price for the removal is around INR 2.75-3,00,000/-
The stay in Mumbai for the lengthening period (should plan for 140 days stay in Mumbai) can vary from INR 5000-15000 per day, depending on the type of accomodation one chooses.

I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig for a Stryde nail tbh. I say wait until a few people get it.
Thank you for the link, Scarface. I’ve been looking around for this kind of information about dr. Parihar’s options. In my opinion, $200 for a 20 min skype call is a steep fee.
I think it's a good idea to go to him. Inserting a nail is pretty much the same no matter what model it is.
are you Indian? then I dont think u have any other option bro.
trust me Ive thought of several other doctors but Indians need visa to visit most countries and no one country is giving 3 month visas. greece, south korea, germany, you name it. its just impossible. if you get job somewhere or a PR of some country then maybe you can do it while living in other country.
if you are not Indian then maybe you can try some american doctor. paley is good obviously.
just dont go to someone who does only cosmetic.
parihar is good I think. he had told once if he sees anything wrong with nail or something during surgery he will cancel it instead of somehow doing it. stryde nail being new might be ok. but if you have ability to go to foreign country, then go to america or south korea since they did stryde already.
Hey KiloKhan,
After 6-7 months post op were you able to do some light weight leg exercises? Or were you not allowed to do any type of physical activity until the frames were removed? I’ve had my mind set on doing LON with dr. Parihar for a while now, but I’m debating whether fully externals would be better for me since I’m worried about the risk of getting permanent knee pain and also my tibias are very thin, but if fully external means living as a cripple for a year or more than I think I’ll be sticking to LON.

Yes, I am Indian. If I go to Parihar I can do the surgery next year or so and my parents can pay for it but if I resort to my original plan of going with Paley that sort of sounds like a distant pipe dream and I will have to save up for it and do it in a few years.
I'm inclined to go with Dr. Parihar.

Why not do Giotkas or Donghoon? Paley is expensive and really far from India.
Quote from: KiloKAHN on November 10, 2020, 05:09:53 PMThe main difference between Stryde and Precice is its weight bearing capacity. Since he has experience with one, being the first to do Stryde isn't being a guinea pig.
He's a better option than Dr Lee, imo.
Hi Kilo, I am aware you have first hand experience of doing surgery with Dr. Parihar, who i also believe is a a competent doctor. I have visited him few years back and did some research on him.
I am still curious to know your reasons for rating him higher than Dr. Lee, is it mainly due to your personal experience?
