Would separating femur and tibia lengthenings preserve athleticism?

Edit Post

We all know that the safe limit for femur is 8cm and the safe limit for tibia is 5cm. Someone doing either of those could easily make a safe recovery and regain most of their athleticism. However, if you were to do femurs first and spend a few years recovering then go for the tibias for a total of 12-13cm, how would that affect your athletic ability? Would it be worth spending a year or 2 (or more) recovering the flexibility and explosiveness in your muscles and soft tissues? Or will you still lose just as much as if you did quadrilateral?

Interesting, do you think staying within both safe limits means I could regain my athleticism even though that would still be 11cm?

I'd like to push for more height ofc but what height would you say is the furthest I could go while still being able to keep up with sports? I don't expect to ever reach my full potential again after any amount of LL but I'd like to still be able to be active
