Our Michigan knee replacement surgery program represents the pinnacle of joint replacement technology and surgical expertise. Whether you're suffering from arthritis, injury, or degenerative joint disease, our comprehensive knee replacement services are designed to restore your mobility and eliminate chronic pain.
Our total knee replacement procedures utilize the latest prosthetic technology and minimally invasive surgical techniques. We offer both traditional and robotic-assisted surgery options, ensuring precision and optimal outcomes for each patient. The comprehensive approach includes pre-operative planning, advanced surgical intervention, and personalized rehabilitation protocols.
For patients with localized knee damage, partial knee replacement offers a less invasive alternative to total joint replacement. This procedure preserves healthy bone and ligament structures while replacing only the damaged portions of the knee joint. The result is faster recovery, more natural knee function, and excellent long-term outcomes.
When a previous knee replacement requires modification or replacement, our revision surgery specialists provide expert care using advanced techniques and specialized implants. We handle complex cases including implant wear, loosening, infection, or instability with comprehensive evaluation and customized surgical planning.
Our orthopedic shoulder surgeon Michigan team brings decades of combined experience in treating complex shoulder conditions. From rotator cuff repairs to total shoulder replacement, we provide comprehensive care for all shoulder and upper extremity disorders.
Rotator cuff injuries are among the most common shoulder problems, affecting millions of people annually. Our advanced arthroscopic and open surgical techniques provide effective treatment for partial and complete rotator cuff tears. We utilize the latest in tissue repair technology and rehabilitation protocols to ensure optimal healing and function restoration.
Total and partial shoulder replacement surgeries provide relief for patients with severe arthritis, fractures, or other degenerative conditions. Our surgeons are experienced in various shoulder replacement techniques, including anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, ensuring the best approach for each patient's specific condition and anatomy.
Athletic shoulder injuries require specialized care from surgeons who understand the unique demands of sports participation. Our sports medicine approach combines advanced surgical techniques with sport-specific rehabilitation programs, helping athletes return to their highest level of performance safely and efficiently.
Our hip replacement program combines cutting-edge technology with proven surgical techniques to provide patients with durable, long-lasting results and rapid recovery from hip pain and dysfunction.
Great Lakes Orthopaedics specializes in anterior hip replacement, a minimally invasive approach that offers significant advantages over traditional surgical techniques. This innovative method allows our surgeons to access the hip joint from the front, avoiding major muscle damage and resulting in faster recovery times, reduced pain, and improved mobility.
The anterior approach preserves important muscles and tendons around the hip joint, leading to improved stability and a lower risk of dislocation. Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays, reduced post-operative pain, and faster return to normal activities compared to traditional posterior or lateral approaches.

"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. I would recommend them to everyone. I never waited a long time and always very kind and caring staff."

Ankle Surgery with Dr. Lawley
"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!"
