Femur or Tibia

Edit Post

Hello.

I am struggling if I should do tibia or femur lengthing.

I am 177cm tall. My femur to tibia ratio is 81.3%
Femur: 46cm
Tibia 37,6cm
wingspan 178cm

I would like to do only 5 cm as I think more is to risky and will destroy my proportions.
I wanted to go for femur as it is faster consolidating and less risky.

I have created mockups:

What do you guys think?

Why do you think my tibias are short? As far as I have googled .8 is the avarage femur/tibia ratio. Thus my tibia are little shorter than my femurs.

I want to go  with internal nails. Also I am afraid of the scars. Thus I tend to do internal femur with e.g Betz.

I read that tibia with internal nails is risky and thus they recommend external methods with tibia. But there I will get lots of scars and have the risk of infections right?

Next problem I have is that I can only stay 6 monts away from my job.

I appreciate your input!

Why do most prefer here tibia? In the old forum only femur seems to be done by the patients.

Can Someone Help me with descission.
Tibia seems to be only bc of money the right choise.
But Perhaps also bc of proportions? If I Do femur i would have 0.73 ratio. I not sure if this would look way off.

What are you suggesting?
Money is no problem for me.
With externals I am scared about risk and scars.
Femur I am little worried about proportions.

I cannot say if he has long femur or tibia.

What do you think about 0.73 ratio?

Edit Post

So you would also go for femur?

Edit Post

It seems he has average 0.8 ratio.

I still would like to know if 0.73 ratio will be visible to others. I don't want anybody to know my lentghing.
I am afraid to be unhappier than before bc of unproportions

I am still unsure what to do. Is there someone with 0.73 ratio or less. Does it look freaky? Do you think I can walk after 4 months without noticing that I did surgery?
I would go for 4-5 cm. It would be better with internal I think.

Edit Post

So you would go for internal femur?
How long does it take to recover with 5cm?

What would be the right choice. IT is so hard to decide.
