Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (49.8%), consulting fees and royalties or licence payments — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Arthrex accounts for 85.7% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NY 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 373 payments — averaging $1868.14 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
