Does he use precise and if so how much would that be?

He use precise but it is very expensive. 25500 Euro for one Leg.

You shouldn't do 7 cm though, higher chance of complications, long term recovery and stability. 5 cm recommended and shouldn't be exceeded. If you are sure you won't ever be able to go for femur lengthening by doing a second segment surgery then do 6 cm at most and should be the absolute maximum.

you're right. 5 -6 cm tibia and next Op 6-7 femur .
If everything goes well then next year femur

I will recommend not to do more than 6 cm in tibias but in your case you are so short i think is a good idea to try to get as much as you can. BUT better you do 6,5cm.

Does he fixate the fibula?

6 cm I would be very happy
