Why did you chose tibias first?
Starting tibias first is highly recommended for quadrilateral patients. If you end up with hip flexion contractures or tight quadriceps it would be too dangerous for the palletofemoral complex to proceed with another surgery, while starting with tibias and having ballerina foot would be more managable. Usually won't be a problem with aggressive therapy, but it's safer in any case.

i know 1 click = 0.052mm
11clicks for 21 days = 12mm only + surgery gap (o.5cm) = 1.7cm

No runaway nail i ever heard of with betzbone. You made that up. This is not even a complication that you had to sign before surgery (and there were many abstract ones).
Runaway means that the nail suddenly lengthens to it‘s limit meaning like 12 cm extension in a single go by itself. This won‘t happen. I don‘t know how that even could work in reality.

That is not what is referred to by a runaway nail. It's not all at once goes to max 12cm. Rather it's when occasional unwanted clicks occur, and keep occurring, and eventually add up to a significant problematic amount of undesired lengthening. I have no idea if it has happened with Betzbone or not. It definitely has happened on other nails. Happened to Unicorn and she was using gnail with Guichet.
