Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (47.7%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Royal Biologics, Inc. accounts for 64.0% of it on its own, with 23 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MN 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 490 payments — averaging $920.01 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
