What this record shows

This record is dominated by other: $12,143,303 of the $13,164,577 with a category attached, or 92.2%. Smith+Nephew accounts for 91.8% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $10,433,142 and has fallen 93.6% since, to $668,889 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NY 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.

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.

How this compares

$13,164,577 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,079 orthopaedic surgery providers in New York.
