11 cm will require two procedures, so keep that in mind. I'd also wait a few more years, or at least get your growth plates checked, since a growth spurt in the early 20s is not unheard of.

i didn't read the 11 cm. That's too much lengthening for one procedure.

the most i can advise for external tibias is 5 cm (w/pilli, parihar, birkholtz, or mahboubian)
the most i can advise for internal femurs is 6-7 cm (w/paley, rozbruch, or mahboubian)
