At Zulekha Hospital Dubai, patients can access Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) through specialised cartilage restoration facilities staffed by experienced orthopaedic specialists. Established in 2004, the JCI hospital is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and has 179 beds.

ACI uses the patient's own cartilage cells to help repair a localised cartilage defect. The treatment generally involves two stages: harvesting healthy chondrocytes and expanding them in a laboratory, followed by implantation into the damaged area. Imaging and clinical assessment help determine whether the patient is suitable for this treatment.
