About Clínica Arthromeds, Lima
Christian Huamaní Medina, MD, a trauma and orthopedic surgeon (CMP 45307), leads Clínica Arthromeds, a multi-surgeon orthopaedic clinic; he also heads the Shoulder & Knee Unit and coordinates the Bone Lengthening & Infections Unit at Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza, a national reference hospital in Lima. Lengthening, deformity correction and bone transport are done with the HMC external fixation system, an Ilizarov-type frame he invented and patented through INDECOPI, Peru's patent office; no PRECICE or other intramedullary nail is confirmed.
No price is published, and the clinic works in Spanish only with no international patient programme documented. The Google Business address, in San Martín de Porres, differs from the two addresses on the clinic's own website, so verify the location; the surgeon's personal website is offline. Rehabilitation arrangements are not documented, and recorded accreditations are professional recognitions rather than facility accreditation. The Google listing shows 4.9 from 44 reviews.
No Trustpilot. No English-language international patient programme documented. No PRECICE or other named intramedullary nail device confirmed in public sources; the clinic uses their proprietary HMC external fixation system. Multi-surgeon clinic — Dr. Huamaní is the lead but other named surgeons see bone cases. | SOURCE REMOVED 2026-08-13: https://drchristianhuamanitraumatologo.com/ — NXDOMAIN.

Why we listed this clinic
Dr. Huamaní Medina is Peru's only INDECOPI-patented orthopaedic device inventor in the bone lengthening space — the HMC external fixation system is a nationally patented proprietary technology used exclusively at Arthromeds for lengthening, deformity correction, and bone transport. He was recognised by Peru's Congress for excellence in bone infection and reconstruction treatment. His active position at Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza (a national reference hospital) as both department head and bone lengthening unit coordinator provides strong independent institutional credibility. The clinic operates multi-surgeon with 24-hour emergency cover. The site's own leg-lengthening page describes the actual technique in more detail than previously on file: 'a controlled fracture in the bone and placement of an intramedullary nail accompanied by an external fixator connected via percutaneous Schanz pins' — i.e., a lengthening-over-nail (LON) hybrid rather than classic ring-frame Ilizarov — described on-site as patented by the clinic. Added LON to methods_confirmed alongside Ilizarov.
