What this record shows

This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $12,415,560 of the $12,415,629 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 100.0% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $6,871,467 and has fallen 100.0% since, to $53 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in IL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
