What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $792,716 of the $843,755 with a category attached, or 94.0%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 95.8% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $357,727 and has fallen 57.1% since, to $153,413 in 2025. Among pediatric surgery clinicians in VA 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.
