Which is better, cross LL (as offered by Giotikas) or 2 different LL (one in tibia, one in femur, with 1-2 years in between) ?

Great321, you are currently doing Cross LL with Giotikas using TSF frames. Why do you advise against it?

If somebody is lengthening only tibia, only the soft tissue of the lower segment will stretch? If yes, why would Cross LL be more damaging to soft tissue than 2 different LL?
