Similarly, amputation through the femur (standard above-knee amputation or AKA) is contained within CPT code 27590, when a standard dressing is applied or by 27591, when accompanied by an immediate cast fitting.

Through-knee amputation typically consists of surgical disarticulation of the knee joint with ligation of the popliteal vessels and sciatic nerve [22]. Crucially, there is maintenance of the adductor and quadriceps muscle groups and formation of a long posterior soft tissue envelope for closure of the stump [22].
