Orthopaedic Surgeon as occupation, AAOS PAC as recipient
ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is the occupation string, including the British spelling as stored. The recipient is C00343137, PAC OF AAOS. Matching rows sum to $13,622,893 across 25,704 contributions. The occupation hub is $15,862,739 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Orthopaedic Surgeon. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.
An 85.9% share on 25,704 lines is a specialty-PAC concentration. Orthopaedic and Orthopedic would be different keys if stored that way. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00343137. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON; the receipts are attributed to C00343137 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll.
