Purely out of curiosity, what happens to the body when the tibia is longer than the femurs.
I read on some of the diaries of guys under 165cm doing 8cm so it is definitely happening.

Is it at all similar to when the femurs are over lengthened?
What do you guys think?

Lengthening femurs makes your gait longer, lengthening tibiae makes your gait shorter.  If the gait gets too long or too short, you'll have problems with walking.

Hello,

My height is 164 cm and my goal is 172-173cm.
Should I do LL for my femur or tibia based on my leg proportion?

I think it'd look better if you did your tibiae.

First off, you should be standing to give us a full view of your proportions.  Your femurs look shorter than they actually are in that picture.  Secondly, you shouldn't be wearing shoes.  How tall are you?

During your tibia surgery, they can also twist the leg so the feet point forward instead of out.  That's what they did for me.
