Precice Stryde Nail
The Precice Stryde Nail represents a major advancement in limb lengthening technology. Like the standard Precice system, it works through gradual, controlled bone distraction to achieve safe and predictable height enhancement.
The key difference lies in its construction — the Stryde Nail is made from a durable stainless steel alloy rather than titanium, allowing improved early weight-bearing capacity.
Steel Alloy Advantage
The steel alloy construction provides enhanced structural strength and improved load-bearing capacity compared to traditional titanium nails.
- Higher early weight-bearing tolerance
- Improved mechanical stability
- Better load distribution across the limb
- Enhanced structural durability
This design allows patients to remain more active even during the early stages of the distraction phase.
- Greater mobility in initial weeks
- Earlier functional rehabilitation
- Reduced dependency on prolonged immobilization
- Increased patient confidence
Controlled Lengthening Without Compromise
Despite its enhanced strength, the Stryde Nail maintains the same magnetic precision technology used in standard Precice systems.
- Gradual distraction (~1 mm per day)
- Surgeon-controlled lengthening protocol
- Precise External Remote Controller (ERC) activation
- Safe and predictable bone regeneration
Patients benefit from safe, controlled height enhancement while experiencing improved mechanical support throughout treatment.
- Reduced discomfort compared to external frames
- No external pins or wires
- Lower infection risk
- Improved treatment experience
How Stryde Supports Faster Rehabilitation
The enhanced weight-bearing capacity of the steel alloy nail contributes to a more active and confident recovery journey.
- Earlier partial weight bearing (as prescribed by surgeon)
- Improved mobility during distraction phase
- Potentially shorter functional recovery timeline
- Greater independence in daily activities
The introduction of the Precice Stryde Nail reflects HII’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge, patient-centric technology that enhances comfort, safety, and functional outcomes in limb lengthening procedures.
