Precice Nail
Precice Nail
Our center is using Precice 2 nail Remote Control Technology for The Treatment of Limb Length Discrepancy PRECICE is an American made intramedullary nail to be used for limb lengthening of the femur and tibia that utilizes an External Remote Controller (ERC) to non-invasively lengthen the bone. The key to this technology is the magnetic interaction between the PRECICE implant and the PRECICE ERC unit, a portable, hand held unit that lengthens the PRECICE implant. PRECICE is used to treat lower limb length discrepancies after fractures that are complicated by discrepancy.

How Precice Nail works
The key to the Ellipse platform technology is the magnetic interaction between the PRECICE implant and the PRECICE ERC. Permanent magnets are used to non-invasively adjust the PRECICE implant. This advancement in intramedullary limb lengthening allows for a precision, controlled lengthening phase with the ability to shorten the device if necessary.The key to the Ellipse platform technology is the magnetic interaction between the PRECICE implant and the PRECICE ERC.
