Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $27,220 of the $40,211 with a category attached, or 67.7%. Arthrex accounts for 67.2% of it on its own, with 23 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $9,991, more than ten times the $97 reported in 2019. Among foot & ankle surgery clinicians in NJ 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 136 payments — averaging $295.67 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
