Heard there's like a far higher risk of complication when you're working your tibias than there is when you're working on your femurs.
Is this true? And should lengthening really be limited to no more than 2 inches?
I don't see why no tibias, and I don't see why 2 inches specifically
One person does LL for discrepancy reasons 4cm and develops arthritis, other person does LL for cosmetic reasons 10cm and is fine.
No matter what you read on the forums or what docs tell you, the only way is to take the plunge and find out
This is what I realise the more diaries I read

fk, is it worth that risk though?
This answer is going to suck but... I think only you could know that. I’d say, spend a ton of time researching, like more than a couple months, and then decide.

No.
External tibias is by far the safest way to do LL and most people could handle 6-6.5 cm without much problems.

I see. Could you tell me how much you lengthened and which segments you've done, and also how you're feeling now?
Appreciate your input by the way BB.

Why do you say this?
Most docs seem to think Stryde Femurs is as safe as it gets for now. Tibias always have worse recovery as compared to femurs
