Abstract
This study investigates the human factors shaping surgical workflows in Mako-assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty surgeries, particularly emphasising non-technical skills such as communication, teamwork, and situational awareness. Using video analysis, we examine interactions between surgical team members and the Mako system, identifying challenges and opportunities that enhance future collaborations.
