Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (52.6%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Smith+Nephew accounts for 98.1% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NC 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 1,325 payments — averaging $861.64 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
