I want 11-12 cm of lengthening in total with 1 year gap. I am planning to do femur first and then exterrnal tibia as I don't want to risk joint pain. I am thinking about 8 cm in femur first and then 3-3.5 cm in tibia external? What do you guys think?

I know 3 cm of tibia is not worth it but I don't want to wear external fixtures for 6 months.
