Stryde info is not out in Korea yet

The stryde nail may not fit in your femurs.

PAGrb490 · « **Reply #4 on:** May 01, 2019, 09:27:50 PM »

There was not a single case here on this forum that someone was turned down for stryde femurs because of size of their bones.

wannagrowtaller · « **Reply #5 on:** May 02, 2019, 03:24:12 AM »

She is a girl and she said she has skinny legs.

I think there was a guy who could not do stryde on his femur but somehow he did on his tibias. I can be wrong.

PAGrb490 · « **Reply #6 on:** May 02, 2019, 06:39:26 AM »

Can you please find this diary of the guy who could not fit the nails in his femurs but could in tibia?

This is hard to believe.

That is probably not true or you remember/understand this wrong. In general, femurs are much bigger than tibias, so obviously. If one can't put Stryde in femurs, it is almost certain that that person can't put Stryde in tibia. However, there are some opposite cases, meaning that some people's tibias can't take Stryde nails while femurs can. Most of people will be able to take Stryde nails in tibias. Of course, they need to see doctors to know it for sure.

Hi Kenda
As far as I know, Stryde nails are not available in Dr. Lee's hospital. They said that it may be available at the end of this year or perhaps next year. However, he has been doing many surgeries with Precice and recently qualified to be a doctor who can train other doctors for Precice nail.

If the smallest is 10 mm how come it cant fit in my femurs?!
However do you guys think that being skinny -no mucles will help me achieve the full 8 cm or that has to do with tendons in the legs?
Because my biggest fear is to do auch surgery and not achieve the maximum height....
Also my proportions would look so wierd (my original femur : 42 cm , tibia 35 cm) so the tibia would look so small compared to it but i am trying to avoid knee pain by avoiding lengthening the tibia

Where? If it happens, it is really a rare case. Most of people have much bigger bones in femurs than tibias.

Thank you for all the support guys, I appreciate it . I used the 8.5mm Precise nail on my femur as the 10.5mm one was a little too big and would have required more reaming of the canal which you should try to avoid. We all saw what happened with Unicorn when Guichet put in a 13mm nail on her small bones. While the tibia is indeed smaller than the femur, the benefits of the 10mm Stryde nail outweighed the smaller 8.5mm Precise nail so Dr. R. did do some reaming to fit it in there, he did say it was quite a tight fit.

Not having muscles will not help you.

PAGrb490 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 02, 2019, 07:20:22 PM »

He did his surgery in 2017 before stryde release therefore he went with precise 2.2. What are we discussing here?

wannagrowtaller · « **Reply #14 on:** May 02, 2019, 07:24:26 PM »

But he use 8mm (typical humerus nails) instead of 10.5mm in femurs.

PAGrb490 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 02, 2019, 07:25:20 PM »

And later on he got stryde for his tibia,

But he did it later, when stryde was available. Possibly that stryde would be used by dr R on his femur as well.

As you can see, they were able to use stryde on his tibia even though his bones were small.

PAGrb490 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 02, 2019, 07:29:00 PM »

Yes, all being equal , they have decided to go with the smallest nail in his case. But he himself is saying that stryde is so great they it allows for more teaming and it is still is more safe even in Tobias.

Once again I repeat that no adult was turned down for stryde in their femurs in favor of smaller precise 2.2 on this forum or on telegram channel

I don't know Bluebaribe. However, whether or not her femurs are too small for Precice nails, her tibias should be even smaller than her femurs. I am talking about size comparison here between tibias and femurs, ok?
Also we need to take into account that Stryde is fully weight bearing while Precice is not, meaning that Precice nails need more bone support to be safe, although they are still not full weight bearing. Patients with Precice nails still need to walk with walkers or crutches, which is good and necessary. However, since Precice nails are not full weight bearing, patients need super high cautions and their bones need to provide some support for Precice nails for the safety.
On the other hand, Stryde nails are full weight bearing even without bones support, meaning that bigger nails for Stryde can be used for the same size of bone as compared to Precice. I saw many patients who are quite small like 140-150cm for men and women patients. They had Stryde nails either in femurs or tibias. I would say quite positively that most of people should have big enough bones in their femurs and tibias for Stryde nails, unless they are extremely small or have some defects.

Well I think the problems can creep up after nail removal if the cortices are left too thin.

Hi Kenda
You are right about that. For lengthening, you don't want to have too much muscle in your legs. As you said, muscle will increase the resistance. It is better to focus on flexibility during or before lengthening.

Dr Guichet recommended having muscles to lengthen, but I think he doesn't have much credit anymore.

The thing is you lose a lot of muscle with surgery, in your thighs and glutes, if you already don't have them, you will have nothing at the end of it and you will need to rebuild.

Not even the 8.5mm made for humerus? She must have really thin legs.

PAGrb490 · « **Reply #25 on:** May 03, 2019, 06:21:33 PM »

humerus?

what humerus is to do with legs being "too thin" as you say?

wannagrowtaller · « **Reply #26 on:** May 03, 2019, 06:27:11 PM »

I mean the humerus bone is much thinner than femur. If a nail made for humerus does not fit in her legs, she must have really thin legs.

PAGrb490 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 03, 2019, 06:32:30 PM »

Bluebarbie did not do her surgery or consult with any of the US doctors, therefore we cannot confidently say that her body could not accommodate Stryde or Precice.

Her quote:
ItsMyLife,
I regret on how much money I had spent and pain and discomfort I had gone through without knowing I could have internals with other doctors. But then I could again relieve on not having had any complications or other hard situations coz I had done in that expansive but a reliable country.

BTW her surgery was a success with 8CM lengthening

wannagrowtaller · « **Reply #28 on:** May 03, 2019, 11:50:42 PM »

She did LATN, right? So she end up using a nail in the end. I'm happy she recovered well.

Kenda · « **Reply #29 on:** May 04, 2019, 09:18:34 AM »

Isnt this the girl who did LATn on femurs in singapore ?

Why is she regretting it now
