Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $8,854,221 of the $9,168,934 with a category attached, or 96.6%. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Stryker. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $1,953,625 and has fallen 52.8% since, to $922,656 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in CA 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 112 payments — averaging $81,865 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Who reported the general payments

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
- MAKO$9,167,734
