UAE achieves medical milestone with first AI-powered robotic knee replacement surgery

  • 28/09/2025

The UAE has achieved a medical breakthrough with the successful completion of its first AI-powered robotic knee replacement surgery at Abu Dhabi's Zayed Military Hospital. The groundbreaking procedure was performed under the supervision of expert physicians using advanced robotic technology that analyzes patient data and 3D CT scans to create highly precise, personalized surgical plans.

This robotic-assisted joint replacement technology represents a significant advancement over traditional methods, enabling surgeons to generate real-time 4D mapping of the joint and determine optimal implant positioning. The robotic system operates under the surgeon's guidance, removing only the necessary bone while preserving the patient's natural bone structure and ligaments, which enhances joint functionality and implant longevity.

The technology offers improved precision compared to conventional knee replacements and optimizes soft tissue balance, ensuring more natural joint movement and durability. Robotic systems are increasingly used for partial knee replacements, total knee replacements, and hip replacements, representing the future of orthopedic surgery in the region.
