About

Iain Stevenson is a rising orthopaedic researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of surgical innovation and occupational health in the operating room. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted arthroplasty, intraoperative noise exposure, and surgical team safety. Stevenson’s major contribution is the groundbreaking “Study on impact of robotic-assisted orthopaedic industrial noise (SIREN),” which systematically evaluated noise levels experienced by surgeons, assistants, anaesthetists, and product specialists during Mako robotic-arm assisted total knee and hip arthroplasty. This work highlights a previously underexplored occupational hazard in modern orthopaedic surgery, providing critical data that can inform safety protocols and equipment design. Although early in his career, Stevenson’s research has already garnered attention, with his most-cited paper accumulating 5 citations in its first year—a strong start for a 2024 publication. His findings are particularly notable for bridging the gap between advanced surgical technology and the well-being of the entire surgical team, making him a promising voice in the field of surgical ergonomics and occupational health.
