First bionic arm fitted on an individual (male)

According to Official Guinness Records,

Since 1993, Scottish hotel owner Campbell Aird, who had his right arm amputated in 1982 after doctors diagnosed muscular cancer, has been trying out a new bionic arm created by a team of five bio-engineers at the Margaret Rose Hospital, Edinburgh, UK. Two other motorised artificial arms have been developed in America, but these were essentially only powered elbows.
