Dear all,

I don't want to spam the forum with repetitive posts (reference to my earlier posts), but I just learnt about STRYDE's arrival to the market (for now with Paley and, hopefully WW in 2019) and in this light i am trying to gather more perspective here.

Why tibia? i have already long femurs - super long for my body

why STRYDE - cause having this surgery in my 30th in the US and not in my 20th somewhere in Russia (i am Russian, would be theoretically a little easier task than for some LLers) with STRYDE makes me feel less guilty for not doing LL earlier.

a question - I am a female and skinny and small-boned, so you know the odds are against me proceeding with internal tibias -BUT - can a STRYDE nail diameter be small enough to do this procedure internally on tibias for a petite female?
 

PS: f...k me for not doing this with Solomin 10 years ago!

Why don't you just ask Paley by email that very same question? He seems to answer all emails in a timely manner and he'd know more than anyone. At the end of the day I think you'll be fine considering women of smaller stature and weight are operated on very frequently.

As somebody already said - check with Paley directly, express your concern exactly as you have here, except for the last sentence (PS: f...k me for not doing this with Solomin 10 years ago!), btw I am willing to oblige you if the offer is till valid, hahahaha, LOL

No one on this forum can answer this question. You will need a proper examination including xrays etc.

Sad but Female thin tibia may not be a candidate for Stryde

Stryde only starts from 10mm
Precice 8.5mm didn’t get upgraded

Creepy.

When you find out, do let us know. Someone wrote a while ago that it is the size of the bone canal that matters and it doesn't directly correlate with the bone diameter.

Also, as far as I know, Solomin doesn't offer cosmetic lengthening to Russian patients. He is a highly regarded orthopaedic surgeon in St Petersburg. CLL which he only offers to foreigners is his "hobby" on the side. Kulesh does offer cosmetic leg lengthening to Russian patients though.

[Body Builder]

If you can't handle precise 2, you can't have stryde too.
However, you are in Rusia where external tibias is terribly cheap and Solomin seems a good doctor. Why not doing it ther with 5-6k euros and you want to spend 10× more for stryde? External tibias is very safe so, except from some scarring, I don't see why you precer stryde for a so big difference on money.

Also, how tall are you?

[Kotiki]

There are many reliable surgeons doing externals in Russia in many cities (Moscow, Volgograd, Kurgan to name a few). And it doesn't even cost Eur6k. Foreigners are charged much more than the locals. (I'm Russian).

But external lengthening is a young man's game. I'm assuming, a woman in her 30s is not necessarily keen to spend up to a 1.5 years in bulky frames. She might have children, a demanding job and a busy life. Scars from externals are also much worse than surgical scars. Sometimes, even surgical revision can't improve them. I don't know what the OP's reasons are but these would be mine.

A woman with children and a demanding job should not do LL unless if she is under 1.50-1.52.

Even then, for 6cm she doesn't need more than 8 months on frames. And with frames she can walk from the first weeks so she can do almost everything.
Scaring is a thing though but scars from ilizarov are not big and with cosmetic surgery they could be minimized.

[Kotiki]

Maybe I should just suck it up and do externals.. I am 153 and very short tibias. 5 cm is all I want and would even settle for 4. Main goal - improve proportions of the body.

But you see, there are plenty of girls on Russian forums who didn't even lengthen, just corrected the varus deficiency and took 8 months in frames. Time in frames is highly individual and tends to be longer in your 30s.

I wish they came up with a reliable treatment to heal fractures faster.. then I would do externals and would not worry about the scars. But as it is, STRYDE looks very attractive.

I’m taller than you but my tibias are thin and 8.5 mm nail was recommended.
So it means I cannot use the thinnest Stryde 10mm.
It’s better to check X-ray to know bone size before deciding the nail or methods.
