Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $9,545,085 of the $9,552,585 with a category attached, or 99.9%. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Zimmer Biomet. 2023 is the largest year on record at $5,279,126, 5.7 times the $919,496 reported in 2019. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in CA 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.
