Why we listed this clinic
Ortopedia ABM is a solo-surgeon practice run by Alejandro Bolaños Muñoz, a UAG/UNAM-trained orthopedic surgeon who holds an unusual dual role as both a practicing clinician and a board examiner (sinodal) for the Mexican Council of Orthopedics and Traumatology — a position indicating peer-recognized expertise. His bone lengthening technique is a documented two-phase hybrid approach (external fixation for distraction, internal plate/screw fixation for consolidation) using Albizzia nails, ISKD, and Orthofix fixators. With 155 verified Doctoralia reviews and a 5-star Google rating, he has one of the strongest review profiles among LATAM limb lengthening providers. The clinic's own elongación-ósea page describes its exact surgical protocol: a two-phase hybrid technique combining external-fixator distraction (Albizzia nail, ISKD, or Orthofix fixators, ~1mm/day) with a second-stage internal plate-and-screw fixation plus bone graft, used for both cosmetic height gain and congenital/brachymetatarsia correction — more specific than previously on file. A direct doctor portrait and a branded surgical banner image were also found, resolving no_photos.
