Thanks for sharing this with us,
This is really helpful as I am also planning to do precise 2.2 and will take 3-4 weeks off the work for that,
However due to work constraints , I would probably need to flew back to home country and resume my work
I was planning to do wok like 3 days in office and 2 days at home
how crazy would that be and do you think that this can be managed especially that precise is non weight bearing ??
of course I would do all the PT, stretching before and after the working hours ( in the days where I will be at office)
Thanks,,
The Precice 2 nails are partial weight bearing and not designed for the patient to walk around the airport and fly across long distances while you are in the lengthening or early consolidation phase. It is also not designed for you to physically go to work (even part time or an office job) as well.
You will need a walker for short distances and a wheelchair for any longer distances, plus someone to push you on a wheelchair. Think about this.
Airport and AirplaneHow are you going to get to the airport?
How are you going to get around on a wheelchair?
How are you going to transport your wheelchair, walker, and luggage to/in/from the airplane?
Where are you going to sit on the airplane? You will need a walker or wheelchair to board.
Upon arrival, how are you going to pick up and carry your luggage?
Upon arrival, how are you going to get home?
Workplace and HomeHow are you going to commute to your workplace?
How are you going to get around with a wheelchair in your workplace?
How are you going to get to physical therapy center?
How are you going to do basic tasks when you are in a wheelchair or walker?
For the Precice 2 nails, you should find a place to stay nearby the surgery site during the lengthening phase and at least 4 weeks into the consolidation phase. Longer in the consolidation phase, until you can walk independently if you need it to get around in the airport.
The Stryde nails are full weught bearing and was designed for your plan, but the Stryde was recalled worldwide in early 2021.
