PRECICE Stryde Nail Lengthening Method (Overview)

At Heights Plus, we offer the revolutionary PRECICE Stryde Nail Lengthening System, a cutting-edge, non-invasive limb lengthening solution designed to increase your mobility and improve your stature. Developed by Nuvasive Specialized Orthopedics, the PRECICE Stryde system is based on the highly successful PRECICE technology and offers unique benefits for patients seeking safe, effective and customizable limb lengthening.

PRECICE Stryde is a third-generation internal limb-lengthening system that uses a magnetically-controlled, intramedullary nail to gradually lengthen bones. This method allows for precise control, less pain, and faster recovery than traditional limb-lengthening procedures. With the added benefit of a handheld external remote controller (ERC), patients can receive treatment from the comfort of their own homes, ensuring a smoother and more convenient recovery process.

What Does PRECICE Stryde Nail Lengthening Treat?

The PRECICE Stryde Nail Lengthening System is designed to treat conditions requiring limb lengthening or reconstruction, including:

• Stature Lengthening: For individuals seeking an increase in height for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes.
• Limb Reconstruction: Ideal for patients with congenital limb deficiencies, limb length discrepancies, or trauma-related limb deformities.
• Femur and Tibia Lengthening: The PRECICE Stryde system can be used to lengthen both the femur and tibia bones, restoring normal leg proportions and improving mobility.

PRECICE Stryde Lengthening Process

• Consultation & Evaluation: A personalized treatment plan is created by our experienced orthopedic specialists, taking into account your individual needs, goals, and medical history.
• Surgical Implantation: The PRECICE Stryde intramedullary nail is surgically implanted into the femur or tibia. The procedure is minimally invasive, with minimal incisions, ensuring faster healing.
• Post-Surgical Recovery & Activation: After surgery, the nail is activated with the External Remote Controller (ERC). This remote-controlled system allows for gradual, controlled lengthening of the bone in precise increments.
• Lengthening Phase: The lengthening process begins, with the bone being lengthened at a prescribed rate by your physician. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled for clinical evaluations to monitor progress and ensure proper healing.
• Completion & Final Adjustment: Once the desired length has been achieved, the lengthening phase ends. The bone continues to heal and strengthen as necessary before final stabilization.
