Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (52.8%), speaking fees and royalties or licence payments — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Stryker accounts for 64.5% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $118,575 and has fallen 92.5% since, to $8,924 in 2024. Among foot and ankle 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 289 payments — averaging $1134.34 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
