I'm 165 cm (5'5"), and I plan on lengthening 5cm in a few months using PRECICE. My tibia:femur ratio is 81% (35cm:43cm).

For proportions, would lengthening tibias or femurs be better?

Thanks.

Perhaps tibia proportions wise but I'm not sure if it would make a huge difference either way.

More precisely, my tibia:femur ratio is 35.2:43cm. I felt that doing tibias would be slightly better proportions-wise as well, but the LL-doctor said that doing femurs is less risky and takes less time.

Any more thoughts?
