I'm male, my height 1.57. Age: 40

I'm thinking of having bone lengthening with the LON method.
I'm thinking of only one surgery. Do not think of second surgery.

But I'm confused.  Femur or tibia with LON

Both bone of my leg are the same size. (femur and tibia)

Tibia:
+ It looks longer than femur. (aesthetic image from the outside)
+ Pain less than femur.
- Less lengthening than femur. (- 2-3cm)
- Bone recovery and healing longer than the femur.

Femur:
+ More than Tibia lengthening (+ 2-3cm)
+ Bone recovery and healing faster than tibia.
- It's more painful than tibia.
- Very long femur, poor aesthetic.


What bone do you think? femur or tibia ?


Which is healthier in the long term? (walking, running, activity etc.)


Thanks.

Thanks.

They do this surgery through a combined method in Turkey.

Lon + external device. (https://i.hizliresim.com/AOyDVz.jpg)


Turkish doctors are doing 8cm from the tibia in Turkey, but I do not know how much health.

I think the tibia at most 6 maybe 7 cm.

I just want to know which region is healthier, tibia or femur... (In the long term)


my legs:

femur length: 335 mm
tibia length: 324 mm

(tibia 6cm or femur 8cm)
