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.

Yes, a flexible person can do it.  I did.   Not a fantastic idea but not necessarily a disaster either.

Well, to be fair, your issues were not completely as a result of LON. By your own admission the surgeon was at fault.

I saw several patients doing 7cm on tibias via LON method. Maybe I will be one of them, my height is 1,78m and I have short tibias and for me 1,85m is a perfect height for a man. My surgery will take a place by the end of setember.

every cm higher lengthening is more time for possible risk. lower is better and safer the longer you go the more chance for issue

Donghoon lee and marie gdalevitch both allow for 7cm on tibias.  It all depends on the patient's recovery
