Yes, you'll have to ask your doctor. Another concern is that the side view of your femur shows that it is curved, which could be a deformity.

That's right. When I was lengthening, I saw many little children, both girls and boys, at ages I think as young as 5. They were lengthening with the Precice 2 nails or the TSF external fixators.
In your case, you should ask your doctor first.
