Considering if someone has bow legs which method is considered the best for lenghtening? Does this condition affect the maximum limit of lenghtening or cause additional complications (like going lower than max 8 femur, 6.5 tibia)?
Also, is there an option that could both fix the condition and simultaneously increase height, or is that not possible?

Bow legs get fixed along the process of doing LL. There is a misconception that bow legs need to be fully straighten out to get fixed which would require more breaks along the bone, but that is not true. All people's bone have a curvature.
Are you saying that bowness will fix itself during the lenghtening process itself, even with internals like precice? Also if that's the case might I even end up with an additional cm solely from lessening of the curvature after the lenghtening has been done or not?
I assume we are talking about tibias here. What about femurs? In the case of genu varum, the femurs are straight but need to be slanted. How would it work with Precice, if it will work at all?
