Who here is really concerned about Stryde’s safety?
« on: March 25, 2021, 02:45:06 AM »
Ok - We all know that Stryde is off the option table for now due to the Nuvasive field notice and voluntarily recall.    I’ve been following along like many and have watched every interview I can find by the best known NA surgeons, all 4 of which have explained that corrosion is normal and has happened for a long time with most if not all implants and that they would have no concerns about using Stryde on their family members - at least that is what I heard.  My question:  is anyone here really thinking that there is some real and larger systemic problem with Stryde such that they would not do Stryde without some major reengineer?  I for one would have no problem doing it tomorrow without any changes and think the whole thing is overblown....but I am biased since I want to get CLL before the pandemic is all over and my cover story disappears.  Thoughts?

Honestly I’m not worried. I don’t urgently need CLL done. I’m planning on doing it in 5-6 years and I imagine there will either be a new and better alternative by then, or Stryde’s issues will be resolved by then and it will be back on the market.

From what I understand is that corrosion is very common in bone implants. What I find strange is the bony growths that (I could be wrong) don’t occur in other implants. I’m not too concerned about the safety but it’s definitely something I keep in mind. This might be a good thing! Maybe we will get an even better nail out of this!

What do you mean by corrosion? I actually don’t know anything about why Stryde got recalled.
