What this record shows

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.
