About

Dr Emma Macrae is a pioneering orthopaedic researcher whose work bridges surgical innovation and occupational health. Her primary research areas include robotic-assisted arthroplasty, intraoperative noise exposure, and the safety of operating theatre personnel. Dr Macrae’s most notable contribution is the landmark SIREN study (Study on Impact of Robotic-Assisted Orthopaedic Industrial Noise), published in 2024, which systematically evaluated noise exposure levels for surgeons, assistants, anaesthetists, and Mako Product Specialists during robotic-arm assisted total knee and hip arthroplasty. This work has already garnered 5 citations, highlighting its immediate relevance to surgical practice and workplace safety standards. By quantifying decibel levels across different roles in the operating room, Dr Macrae has provided critical evidence for improving hearing protection protocols and ergonomic conditions in modern orthopaedic surgery. Her research is particularly valuable for students and clinicians interested in the intersection of advanced surgical technology and occupational medicine. Dr Macrae continues to shape safer, more efficient surgical environments through rigorous, applied research that directly impacts the wellbeing of surgical teams worldwide.
