It's a general question but if you want my proportions:
Femur: About 14 inches
Tibia: About 12 inches (a footlong ruler exactly covers it)
Total height: 157cm or 62 inches or 5 foot 2 inches

I don't know my wingspan but my arms are pretty normal for my short height.

Do you think a 17:12 femur:tibia ratio is awkward? I don't care that much about proportions, I just don't want it to be something that is noticeable or abnormal looking.

Did not include the knee area (between 3-4 inches, 9cms I think) for either femur or tibia.

EDIT: Also, I'm going the Precice route and I'll only lengthen 8 in femurs if the doctor allows it, so don't bother warning me about the dangers.

Noone will know for sure till we see your pics. I am also planning on doing more or less 8 cm femurs. In my case, I think 8 cm will be hard in one segment, but you should be fine proportion wise. I start with a taller height at 1m70.5 though.

I guess I'll take my doctor's word for it next year. But from what I've heard:
-Femur recovers way faster than tibia. Like 2 or 3 times faster.
-Femur is better for internals.
-Femur can lengthen 8cm with Precice while tibia can do 6cm.

I would go for tibia if I had to, but 2cm is almost an inch and I'm not going to give that up unless I must. Aesthetically, 2-3 inch longer tibias would look better on me though.
