Seems longer lentherning on any segment is riskier; would it make more sense to do the sequential (Option 3 Paley) surgeries and shoot for 9cm across tibia (4cm) and Femur (5cm) than a full 8cm on Femur?

Is it fair to say that the quad makes sense, if one ignores costs but prioritizes risk and recovery issues.

Its hard to say. In my opinion I would rather have less surgeries and do it in 1 go but it might be different for others.
