7 cm is definitly not safe for 99% of people doing tibia lengthening. Most people start to get complications after 4,5 cm according to cyborg4life and most surgeons set the safe limit to 5 cm for tibias. In generel doing tibias is a stupid idea unless your're planning on doing both segments femur + tibia or you find out after x-ray scanning that you have abnormally long femurs compared to tibias.
They heal slower, have a higher complication rate, increase chance of joint problems / early arthisis, less overall safe length achieved / cutting 2 bones (tibia+fibula) vs 1 for femur etc.

there is always complication and risk in any surgery.
LL surgery is not a small surgery and all risks should be spelled out clearly by the doctor.
You need to sign the contract to acknowledge and bear all responsibilities if something happens in operation room.
Also Post surgery complication are told too.
No need to ask in this LL Forum. You should ask Dr. Becker and google to find the answers.
No doctor will warranty you a zero risk and complication...LOL
