Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $6,911,634 of the $7,656,501 with a category attached, or 90.3%. Stryker accounts for 91.2% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. 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.
