About

Dr. Muhammad Waheed is a leading researcher at the intersection of orthopedic surgery and advanced technology, specializing in robotic-assisted navigation and artificial intelligence (AI) for joint arthroplasty and trauma surgery. His work has fundamentally advanced the precision and safety of complex procedures, particularly in sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion and total joint replacements. Dr. Waheed’s highly cited 2021 paper on robotic navigation for percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement (14 citations) established a novel surgical setup and technique that reduces invasiveness and improves outcomes for patients with debilitating SIJ pathology. More recently, his 2023 review on AI and robotics in total hip and knee arthroplasty (14 citations) has become a seminal resource, synthesizing how these synergistic technologies are transforming surgical planning, execution, and recovery. By demonstrating that AI and robotics can enhance accuracy and reproducibility while minimizing complications, Dr. Waheed is shaping the future of orthopedic care. His ongoing investigations, including the impact of periarticular fat on knee arthroplasty outcomes, continue to push boundaries, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of data-driven, minimally invasive orthopedic surgery.
