how much should I perform lengthening?

I’m a 19-year-old male contemplating undergoing LL for both the tibia and femur. I’ve already determined that I want to increase my tibia by 5cms, but I’m uncertain about how much I should lengthen my femur to ensure that I maintain healthy proportions. I hope you all can assist me in making this decision.

Current night height/morning height: 173 cm / 175 cm
wingspan: 174 cm
tibia length: 37.5 cm
femur length: 45 cm
torso – head: 56.5 cm/25.5 cm
body type: Endomorph

Thanks in advance for your responses.

If you desire a .8 tib/femur ratio for optimal arthritis mitigation, it is essential to achieve femur lengths of at least 8cm, with a minimum of 7cm being necessary for arthritis considerations. However, unless you obtain x-rays of your legs, you are likely measuring incorrectly, so disregard all measurements until you receive an x-ray if the numbers truly matter to you.

Dear ghkid2019, I appreciate your response, but the connection between the tibia/femur ratio and potential arthritis issues is unclear to me; could you shed some light on this? Furthermore, I am puzzled as to why x-rays are required for accurate measurements. Would you mind explaining that as well?
Do you not find a 7-8 cm increase in femur length somewhat excessive for a wingspan of 174?
