Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (34.1%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 25 manufacturers reported payments, led by Synthes GmbH at 52.8% of the total. Among foot & ankle surgery clinicians in NC with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 117 payments — averaging $202.22 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
