via Digital Journal:

Louisiana amputee was turned down by multiple doctors for a knee
replacement surgery in his opposite leg until he found Orthopedic
Surgeon, Dr. Niels Linschoten of Baton Rouge.

Linschoten was able to successfully complete the knee replacement
surgery resulting in this patient walking without pain.

Almost 9 years ago, Shawn was in a car accident that caused multiple
fractures in both legs and an excessive amount of blood loss. As a result,
his left leg had to be amputated.

Through the course of physical therapy to learn to walk on his
prosthetic, he realized there was still a massive amount of debilitating
pain in his right leg, particularly his knee.
