Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $187,277 of the $254,751 with a category attached, or 73.5%. Stryker accounts for 99.5% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $128,548 and has fallen 100.0% since, to $29 in 2024. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MI 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.
Across 280 payments — averaging $909.83 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
