I actually do want to see your pics and how one looks with your given proportions. Take a pic at the waist level for better equilibrium between body and legs. Cover your face for privacy reasons obviously.
Deadlift has always been a strong point for me. Fantastic at picking anything really heavy off the floor.. Bench is reasonable I suppose.. 120kg is body weight so not too bad. My wingspan I think is only about 193cm off the top of my head but would have to check.. Seems I've a long body and short arms and legs relatively speaking.
Don't even bother asking my squat.. I can only squat stood on a 5kg disc with one foot due to the shorter leg. Seems my core strength may be lacking as well which really hinders the technique.. I'm not squatting much at all. About 150kg with a good belt, but my problem is I lean to far forwards when I get close to 90degrees.
I'll see if I can get some pictures up to show you what I mean..
Every tall guy I ever see the first thing I always notice are how long there legs look.. Me on the other hand has tiny legs.. I wear my pants that high Simon cowell would be proud just to look normal.. The main issue though is if I wear a top specially long to cover my body I look silly because of the short length of my legs so I try to make do with normal length clothes and wear my pants high..
Since you say this is a real medical issue it might be covered by your insurance, your best bet is to go to multiple doctors and see what they recommend for your knee problems. Also if that's you in your profile picture you don't look bad at all, so I don't see the point of getting LL risking your athletic ability, but if you have knee problems you need to see a doc.
I'm in the UK so we don't have insurance only the NHS.. I saw my GP and he did mention the idea of LL and said he'd seen 2/3 patients that had had it done but I questioned if they would bother with someone so tall already.. I mean your not gonna LL a guy who already has to duck to get through door frames..
I have been refered to a physio at first to check if it's definitely a bone length issue not a muscular imbalance so we'll see what happens.
To be honest as fussy as it is I would want appropriate legs for my size if I can.
I've never used that imgur or whatever it is to upload so if anyone's other suggestions then I'll do that.. Just gonna read the page on how to upload

Not sure if that will work but I'll give it a go..
you look fine to me but I can still tell your tibias look a little short, i still think you should see multiple doctors and see if they would recommend LL.

If you have issues seeing them let me know..
Should give you a rough idea of my height and limb length. Pictures are taken at about waist height. Or as close as I can get.
No the ideal world once everything sorted the aim is to look rather similar to Hathor bjorrnson if possible.. Figured I've got a good basis for that sort of frame so might as well make the most of it
How can you have 78 cm inseam with 6'7 man WOW..
So guys it means (we are talking about sitting height/torso) there are huge differences on people about proportions.I mean his legs are short and it could be opposite of course(which most people will be after LL. long legs and short torso-sitting height) but its still interesting 
Deads, Do you still believe he deadlifts 350 kg after those photos? His wingspan is 193 so he should have great bench and poor deadlift with his short arms at 120 kg. My is 188 cm at 177 cm 85 kg and my PR in deadlift is 230 kg beltless without straps, bench 115 kg. A friend of mine is 197 105 kg and is way more athletic than op and he deadlifted 240 max. You have no idea how much 350 kg is. I have trained in the same gym as the best strongmen in my country and the bests of them deadlift about 330 - 350 kg using barbell and plates. Records that are above 350 kg are set on high tires!!! This guy has no chance to deadlift more than 150 kg in his actual form. You are an incredibly naive person.
I first noticed the issue as I wanted to be a pilot in the RAF and the measurements for knee and shin length etc. I fit the RAFs standards for but my sitting height was way way over.. Think it could be 980mm tops and I was way over the 1000mm mark.
It hadn't been such an issue for most things but I do feel like the fact my legs are so short is abit of an issue.. My stride length suffers as a result. For example when I sit in a car my seat going back far enough isn't issue but if I actually adopted a good posture my head is on the roof in almost and car (except a 4x4 I would think)
Not sure how it looks on the pictures but what I see is a disproportionate shape.. Maybe it's just in my head but I think I look a bit silly.. Most tall guys look rangy and I don't at all.
By the way my measurement is from groin to ankle bone not the floor. Not sure how others measure but that's how Taylor's do it..
To be honest I also have size 10 feet (I wear an 11 though) so my feet are small for my size and my hands are about average I think.
To be honest, and I know it's Probably controversial on here but I've looked a lot into the idea of taking growth hormones as they're known to help grow cartilage and make hands and feet bigger..
Also would be interested in the results from LL surgary and the use of HGH in recovery etc. As it's very important for bone density and repairing other bodily tissue but that's just my thoughts
