A next-generation solution to help patients with limb length discrepancy (LLD). Leveraging the PRECICE system technology, Stryde has 400% increased postoperative weight bearing (vs. Precice)1. Learn more about the new limb lengthening and compression treatment below.
Introducing the latest advancement in the Precice family of products from NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics. This 3rd generation advanced solution builds upon the reputation and efficacy of the PRECICE proprietary technology. With thousands of devices implanted since its commercial release in 2011, NuVasive continues to innovate with the mission to transform the current standards of orthopedic care.
The key to the NuVasive platform technology is the magnetic interaction between the Precice Stryde intramedullary nail and remote control. The proprietary technology includes a complex internal gear system remotely activated and controlled by permanent magnets. This 3rd generation advancement in limb lengthening and compression allows for precision control and the ability to non-invasively customize treatment.
The ERC is a portable, hand held unit that precisely lengthens or shortens the Stryde nail through the touch of a button. The ERC prescription is customized by the physician to meet the needs of each patient. The ERC is designed to be used in a clinic setting and from the comfort of the patient’s home following surgery.

The PRECICE System is composed of an implantable intramedullary nail, locking screws, reusable instruments, and a hand-held External Remote Controller (ERC). The STRYDE nail is a sterile single use device that is
surgically implanted using the instruments and locking screws. The ERC
is used daily after implantation to non-invasively lengthen or shorten the
implant to a prescribed length. The PRECICE STRYDE System is intended for
limb lengthening of the femur and tibia. Contraindications include infection
or pathologic conditions of bone such as osteopenia which would impair the
ability to securely fix the device, metal allergies and sensitivities, patients
whose distance from the surface of the treated limb to the intramedullary
canal is greater than 80mm for the 13.0mm diameter implant, 65 mm for
the 11.5 mm implant and 50mm for the 10.0mm diameter implant, patients
with an irregular bone diameter that would prevent insertion of the STRYDE
nail, patients in which the STRYDE nail would cross joint spaces or open
epiphyseal growth plates, patients in which there are conditions that tend to
retard healing such as blood supply limitations, peripheral vascular disease
or evidence of inadequate vascularity, patients unwilling or incapable of
following postoperative care instructions, 150lbs for the 10.0mm diameter
implant, 200lbs for the 11.5mm diameter implant and 250lbs for the 13.0
mm implant. The implantable device is only to be used by a trained licensed
physician. Please refer to the PRECICE STRYDE System instructions for use
for complete Important Safety Information.
