What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $983,624 of the $1,238,351 with a category attached, or 79.4%. Stryker accounts for 95.2% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in PA 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.
