Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (45.0%), royalties or licence payments and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Spineart USA Inc at 52.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $28,934 and has fallen 52.0% since, to $13,899 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 122 payments — averaging $788.74 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
