I have no pain, feel %100 normal, and I’m grateful I got to do this with Stryde.

Y’all can ask me anything and will answer, haven’t checked in here in a while

Main reason I haven’t removed the nail is honestly reliving that trauma.. don’t want to ever experience it again. Lol it takes a special kind of crazy to do this procedure

What exactly you mean by that? Do you fear the pain or what? Are you going to remove nails ever?

[Kanye Western]

Isn't the removal meant to be straightforward? Also, I think long term it would be best to have nail removed just from extensive research.

My nail removal surgery was not a big deal.

Pain is certainly a factor.. things possibly going wrong is another factor. Costs are a huge factor as well.

I feel perfectly fine with them in

Most inconvenient thing has been seeing old friends/family and the “how did you get taller” question.. it’s extremely uncomfortable everytime. Almost every single person knows about “did you get your knees done?” And it’s just so uncomfortable for me but whatever. You can’t live life based on what people will think of you. They can kindly fk off.

Dating wise it’s obviously had a considerable impact.. I’m now taller than most chicks in heels which is a huge confidence boost and that was crippling at my old height.

What is "did you get your knees done"?

Stryde has been out of the market due to corrosion reasons.
Having it still inside your feet 3 years after knowing that it may be really hazardous for your health is not a wise choice. You should find the strength to remove it because you can't be fully rehabilitated with nails still on and also the corrosion risk with stryde is big.

I’ve read all the studies and I’ve had literally next to no pain and feel they’re extremely over exaggerated in my honest opinion. I’ve had no signs of Osteolysis and/or periosteal reactions.. the only thing that’s concerning is the corrosion aspect. I’ve read like 4 diaries of post nail removal that showed absolutely zero corrosion. 3 of them were mahboubian patients. 🤷‍♂️

I'd love to hear Dr. Assayag's opinion about not removing the nail. I think sooner or later you will have to get nails removed the sooner the better and less painful. On top of corrosion risk there is also rigidity factor. Our bones are supposed to be somewhat flexible not solid rigid nail removes any flexibility.

Additionally, whether stryde or precise 2, the magnets with rare earth metals, should not be left in indefinitely per Paley. OP don't stress though as rod removal was basically an outpatient rough two days, much less trauma or pain than nail insertion surgery. Plus it allowed me a fuller more complete recovery which I think was from the screws being gone mostly for me

You haven't seen corrosion in the patients you mentioned because they have the nails for as short time as they could after consolidation.
If they let them for years then you would have seen it.
Magnetic nails are not meant to stay forever like some titanium plates that don't cause any problem in the long run. If you don't remove them you will face serious risks without any real reason.

Does dr assayag still post here? Would love his take.

How useful is the swimming pool for precise tibias patients? Hyatt hotel has an indoor swimming pool but Novotel doesn't. Hyatt's more expensive though

[short but sweet]

what if you needed an MRI ? you can't do that with stryde nails in you

[MosheRothPT]

Definitely need to get the rods removed but only when the bone is sufficiently mineralized and consolidated.

Pool is always a good therapy option to help normalize gait, improve/maintain strength and enhance your balance. Additionally if the pool is heated, the warmth will be beneficial.

(Meant for the above comment)

I removed the stryde nail as soon as I heard about the recall. I did not want the corrosion inside my femurs and never know how body reacts to it. Anyways, my nail removal surgery  was no big deal comparing to the original surgery and I was able to walk the day after the surgery. My legs felt normal and a lot lighter. the incision sites were sore for a few weeks and glad I got rid of the stryde nail
