Upstate NY Knee and Hip Surgeon’s Technique Speeding Up Recovery Worldwide
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."
Dr. Wickline’s expertise in joint replacement surgery has earned him global recognition, with patients and peers alike lauding his minimally invasive techniques that prioritize patient comfort and faster recovery. The principles outlined in Less Swelling, Less Pain are grounded in his evidence-based approach, which has been transformative for thousands of patients worldwide.
The books delve into practical strategies that patients can adopt to minimize postoperative swelling and pain, ensuring a smoother recovery journey. Dr. Wickline emphasizes the importance of pre-surgery preparation, including physical conditioning, and highlights post-surgical protocols that promote healing and restore mobility. His detailed yet accessible writing style ensures that readers, regardless of medical background, can understand and implement his recommendations effectively.
Less Swelling, Less Pain has already garnered significant international attention, with sales spanning continents. Healthcare professionals and patients alike are praising the books for their clarity, relevance, and the actionable guidance they provide. Dr. Wickline’s commitment to empowering patients extends beyond the operating room, making these books an essential resource for anyone facing joint replacement surgery.
