Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (48.1%), other and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 70.7% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $235,783 and has fallen 95.7% since, to $10,161 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in WI 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.

What the payments were tied to

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
