Any chance of Guichet nail getting used in US or Canada?
« on: December 17, 2021, 03:49:35 PM »

Can patients please ask their surgeons (Guichet, or any US surgeons) about this and whether we can expect this to happen anytime soon?

I would rather use Guichet nail than a newly made weight bearing nail from Nuvasive.

I honestly don’t think so.

Neither Albizzia or Guichet Nail hve ever been FDA Approved.
