Dr. Andrew Wickline, a leading orthopedic surgeon renowned for his innovative approach to hip and knee replacements, has once again revolutionized patient care with the release of his new books, Less Swelling, Less Pain (one for knee replacement and one for hip replacement). These publications, tailored for individuals undergoing hip and knee replacement surgeries, provide invaluable insights into managing recovery and achieving optimal outcomes.

"I've performed over 20,000 surgeries. Living in a small town, I see my patients not only in the office, but also at the drugstore, the grocery store, and out to eat. This allowed me to see how patients were really doing out and about, and ultimately prompted me to write an education book with areas for patients to journal in," said Wickline. "The patient journaling of their postoperative experience has been very beneficial both to me as a surgeon and my subsequent patients. Over the years, the initial book has been adjusted and rewritten over 28 times."
