Precice 2 intramedullary nail system is manufactured by Nuvasive from titanium.
With this method, we create a controlled fracture in the bone during the operation and place an intramedullary magnetic precice nail inside the bone After a waiting period of 5-7 days, we start the daily length of 3*0,33 mm (1 mm) per daywit ERC. After 3-4 months on average, when we reach the desired lengthening we stop lengthening period . In the next period, we expect the bone part we have extended to harden completely, 3-4 months on average. With this method, we offer a much more comfortable lengthening experience compared to completely external methods and Lon method Because Precice 2 provides height increase without any external
fixation and patients are completely free from the risk of infection caused by the external fixation device
Precice 2 nails cannot support the full body weight. For this reason, patients cannot give full weight during the lengthening process and require the use of a wheelchair and walker.
The intramedullary nail remains in the bone marrow until complete bony fusion is achieved.
Precice 2 is more expensive than the new version Precice Stryde, which is more economical than the Lon method. It leaves a minimal scar and pleases our patients with aesthetic concerns.
