Even many young patients in 20s stop around 5cm due to severe pain, contractures, infection, misalignment, etc
Also the original height or bone length affect to the lengthening amount

for 5 cm you are in frames for about a year. I dont get why people still want to do that...Its like travelling by ship when you could take an airplane...

To answer your question: 4cm max

Why not internal?  I did internals in my 30's, and met a few other folks at Paley's also in their 30's.
