"Dr. Drouillard recently did a revision on my knee replacement. He and the residents were great at easing my anxiety. This was my third time having a replacement and I was very, very scared. They no longer make my original implant so the whole thing was redone. After 6 weeks I am walking on my own and have so much less pain thanks to Dr. Drouillard. Really pleasant staff also from check in to check out!"

Knee Replacement Revision
"I fell and broke my ankle, heel and leg bones away from the ankle. I went to Garden City Hospital via ambulance. I went in for surgery that day. Dr. Lawley did an amazing job! Everything is straight as can be. I'm walking again (with a Velcro brace) just less than 4 months after surgery. And, I have a tattoo around my ankle (one of a kind) Dr. Lawley put it back together and it's perfect. The staff is excellent and extremely friendly."

Get answers to common questions about orthopedic care, treatment options, and what to expect during your visit to Great Lakes Orthopaedics.
There is no unwavering rule about the best age limit to have a knee replacement. Older people within the range of 50 to 70 years are the most common recipients of knee replacement surgery. However, the decision depends more on your pain level, activity limitations, and overall health rather than age alone. Our surgeons evaluate each patient individually to determine the optimal timing for knee replacement surgery.
Orthopedic surgeons are the experts who can provide the same care as an orthopedist, but who can also perform surgery as a treatment for patients. All our physicians at Great Lakes Orthopaedics are board-certified orthopedic surgeons, meaning they have completed extensive training in both non-surgical and surgical treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.

An orthopedic surgeon is a physician who treats musculoskeletal conditions in both congenital health and traumatic injuries.
