What's the recovery time from surgery date for 2.5 cm femur lengthening, using PRECICE Stryde or whatever's the best method? What about 3 cm, 3.5 cm, and 4 cm? I'm also interested in recovery time for PRECICE 2.2, etc. and whether certain surgeons can reduce recovery time.

The potential downside is regretting not doing more. I don't mind the wasted money.

Why only 4 cm? Do you think it's worth the money and pain? You should go for at leat 6-7 cm.

Normally, the lengthening rate is 1mm/per day. When you want to lengthen 3 cm, it would take 1 month. Then, it takes 4-5 months until complete bone growth.

I have a lot of money to spare, and I want to return to work ASAP. Is the post-lengthening recovery 4 - 5 months regardless of the amount lengthened? I thought 2.5 cm might be 25 days lengthening + 50 days before resuming work, and 8 cm might be 80 days lengthening + 160 days before resuming work. But maybe it's more like this:

2.5 cm is 25 days lengthening + 100 days before resuming work
5 cm is 50 days lengthening + 100 days before resuming work
8 cm is 80 days lengthening + 160 days before resuming work

I care about pain somewhat. Do you think total pain is roughly proportional to recovery time?

I have a lot of patients who only seek 4cm or around that.  They are usually quite happy about the result of the effect on their body is minimal.

What do you do for a living?

My best advice: dont be in a timecrunch when lengthening.

2.5cm will take 3 months for full recovery
4cm youll be back fully by 4 months.

8cm may take 7 to 9 months./ 1 year to feel close to 100%

if youre comfortable with the idea. go for it!

physical pain is not proportional to recovery time. Mental anguish is, for most people.

Thanks! I'm a software engineer. I can WFH, which might change in the future. Either way, I'd prefer to be able to walk before resuming work.

Are those PRECICE STRYDE recovery times? How much do recovery times differ between STRYDE and 2.2?

[Michael J. Assayag, MD]

stryde is off the market and will not come back.

those are the PRECICE times

Hey Michael, do you also have patients who want to do unilateral femur lengthening due to safety reasons?

[doginter]

You're confident that STRYDE won't return? https://www.limbplastx.com/precice-stryde-removal expresses optimism for its return, but maybe you have a better picture.

By PRECICE times, are you saying PRECICE 2.2 and STRYDE have similar recovery times?

Hi Dr Assayag,
I think there is one kind of Precice named Precice Stryde.
Is it the same thing as the stryde you mentioned?

you think so?

ok then. you seem to know what you’re talking about

Hello doctor.

Why do you believe stryde won't come back? Is it dangerous due to corrosion that had in many cases?
If yes then do patients that used it be in some danger for the future?

because i’m in constant contact with the company that manufactures the nails.

Why the company just can´t bring stryde available for customers who accept the corrosion possibility? Has any patient seriously injured because corrosion?

Now some people lengthen their legs using for example the lon method. Which is very risky.

If stryde was available it would be the benchmark that everyone would be talking about. And maybe like some patients would choose that over risky lon. Also Company could offer Stryde only for best doctors. And that also might save people from butchers.

Will 2023 be another year without any magnetic weight bearing nails?

You cant seriously do this surgery for 2.5CM, thats just absurd.  I think the min amount that it starts to make sense is 4CM.
