Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — grants (50.3%), food and beverage and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Arthrex at 40.2% of the total. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in OK 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 148 payments — averaging $352.94 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
