Wanna make 10 cm on tibias,need your advice

Edit Post

In femur you can do more than in tibia but 10 cm is a very bad choice. I would bet 6.5 is the maximum

Edit Post

I would do 6.5cm MAX femurs. Maybe depending on your condition you can try to push for 7cm. Anything above that is going to cause major problems IMO.

6.5-7cm MAX on femurs.

Edit Post

you can do even 15 cm for tibia, but the question is it ok for you to not walk again?

as they said do 7 cm femur

Edit Post

4cm on tibia and 6cm on femur. Don't do more.

It will be expensive as hell and you'll be like 5-10% disabled. That's the truth.

If he want every cm so badly, i think 7 is achievable, of course 6 more safe in general

I thought 5 cm tibiae is really safe, definitely 4 cm is safer but 5 cm shouldn't be a problem?

How about 6.5 femur and 5.5 tibiae as opposed to 7f-5t?

10 cm on tibia is beyond overkill. You'll regret doing that much for the rest of your life. You're going to have to get both segments done if you want 4 inches. (Let's say 6 cm femur and 4 cm tibia)
Although at 5'10 I probably wouldn't bother to get LL in the first place since you're not short in the slightest. Or just do 4-5 cm max on tibias and you'll be 6'0. Don't destroy your legs to get 4 inches in one surgery, especially when you're already 5'10.

i have read that femurs are much easier so probably i am going to do them because difference between my femur and tibia length  is very little and also i want to do whole thing with 1 segment. 8 cm for femurs is real or better stay with 7?
