Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $3,112,888 of the $3,156,824 with a category attached, or 98.6%. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Stryker. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,080,713 and has fallen 72.3% since, to $298,953 in 2022. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MN 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.
Across 111 payments — averaging $28,440 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
