What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $2,402,541 of the $2,575,106 with a category attached, or 93.3%.

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.
