Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — grants (43.3%), education and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Arthrex at 59.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $14,087 and has fallen 98.4% since, to $224 in 2025. Among foot & ankle surgery clinicians in IA 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 100 payments — averaging $230.99 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
