Well, as you members know, I can't be objective about Stenum, given their complication rates, hijacking my web sites and continued marketing assaults. I spent money out of my own pocket hiring a lawyer to intervene legally and have them release my web sites; these are funds I could not afford nor could the non-profit!
I've talked to many of their patients that have reported disastrous outcomes, pls see the FAQs and sticky threads in Arthroplasty Central.
Any way, be mindful of the fact that Stenum Hospital marketed their services for many years as being the "fastest" ADR available. I recall that they offered a specific time attributed to their speedy ADRs, but I don't have that handy. But this is language from their site in 2006:
"...Today’s global community has seen a significantly increasing demand for quicker and more expert solutions when it comes to disorders of the joints and spinal column..."
Their marketing tactics have changed many times, since their sales reps in the US are highly compensated and are motivated financially to proactively perform damage control. They do read these posts!
For the record, Stenum is the ONLY institution on this planet that I recommend patients stay away from because of the reasons mentioned. Drill into the links, ask around.
