Hi, I am a tyro here and I have been reading the contents for days. But still I have several questions and want get a relatively pertinent answer.
For starters, the concept of best is different by everyone. In my case, I am now 168cm, and would like to gain 7cm more. However, I also want to obtain my athletic abilities as much as possible. At least 90%_95% I would say. My current plan is to get a 3+4 surgery.
1. Is there a difference in recovering moving abilities between femur and tibia surgery? Rumors haven been heard that the patients who did femur surgery obtain more athletic abilities.
2. Will do 7cm in tibia or femur better than 3+4 or even worse?
3. If the single surgery in tibia and femur would keep 90% abilities, would doing them both mean that I would only obtain 0.9*0.9~0.8 abilities?
4. Rarely have people uploaded their athletic abilities test here. Is there any data or treatise that I can get? Just want to know how fast can people run in 100m test and 1000m test on average when they are recovered
5. I am now living in China where only external surgery is provided. Do you suggest me to do the surgery here or somewhere in Europe where I might cost all my lifesavings. Will the effect be different in external and internal cases if the surgeries are successful. Also, I have seen advertisements from Turkey. Are they a good choice?
You reply would be rather important for me and I would really appreciate it.

1. I think Tibia may be easier to recover due to less muscles and tissue in Tibia bone.
2. I would suggest keeping it below 6cm in Tibia. 3cm in Femur and 4cm in Tibia is better for recovery than 7cm in Tibia.
3. Maybe, everyone's recovery depends on their state.
4. You won't be running marathon races after LL. This surgery is not meant for prospective athletes.
5. I'm not sure about China LL. USA is the safest and has the best doctors, Europe is the second, and Turkey is the 3rd. Do your own research.
