What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $455,107 of the $720,868 with a category attached, or 63.1%. Arthrex accounts for 92.5% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in CT 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.
