Oh man looking forward to that...lol

I've been making some research on this. Comparing opinions and criteria of different, competent, doctors, it seems there is some logic in that recommended maximum amount in tibias should not exceed 5 cm with nails and 7 cm or even a bit more with externals (subject to probable need of Aquilles tendon lenghtening in this last case). Regardless of this, all cases must be individually evaluated.
Note that this is not a scientific "conclusion" found explicitly. But it's the only possible conclusion when you read articles from diferent, very experienced doctors and using diferent methods.

The rule of thumb I’ve seen supported by research is that you should never lengthen more than 20% of your initial bone length—15% if you want to be extra safe. I plan to do about 17%, personally.

Do you have any links for this research?
I don’t atm, but I’ll get back to you.
