Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by ownership interests: $8,250,000 of the $10,511,718 with a category attached, or 78.5%. Paragon 28, Inc. accounts for 93.0% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $8,514,545 and has fallen 99.1% since, to $77,092 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MD 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.
