About

Dr Luke Farrow is a rising orthopaedic researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation and occupational health. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted arthroplasty, noise exposure in the operating theatre, and the safety of emerging surgical technologies. Dr Farrow’s most notable contribution is the landmark “Study on impact of robotic-assisted orthopaedic industrial noise (SIREN)” (2024), which systematically evaluated noise exposure to surgeons, assistants, anaesthetists, and Mako Product Specialists during robotic-arm assisted total knee and hip arthroplasty. This work, already garnering 5 citations, is pioneering in its focus on a previously overlooked occupational hazard in modern orthopaedics. By quantifying decibel levels across different roles in the operating room, Dr Farrow has provided critical evidence to inform workplace safety guidelines and hearing protection protocols. His research bridges the gap between surgical robotics adoption and the wellbeing of the entire surgical team, highlighting a commitment to both technological progress and human factors. Dr Farrow’s work is essential reading for trainees and researchers interested in the real-world implications of robotic surgery beyond clinical outcomes.
