Introduction. A below-knee amputation (“BKA”) is a transtibial amputation that involves removing the foot, ankle joint, and distal tibia and fibula with related soft tissue structures.
ICD-10-CM Code for Acquired absence of left leg below knee Z89. 512.
The most commonly performed procedure is coded as 27880 (Amputation, leg, through tibia and fibula), usually termed a below knee amputation (BKA).
CPT 27882 Amputation, leg, through tibia and fibula; open, circular (guillotine)CPT 27884 Amputation, leg, through tibia and fibula; secondary closure or scar revision.CPT 27886 Amputation, leg, through tibia and fibula; re- amputation.
Major amputations are commonly below-knee- or above-knee amputations. Common partial foot amputations include the Chopart, Lisfranc, and ray amputations. Common forms of ankle disarticulations include Pyrogoff, Boyd, and Syme amputations.
Common types of amputation involve:Above-knee amputation, removing part of the thigh, knee, shin, foot and toes.Below-knee amputation, removing the lower leg, foot and toes.Arm amputation.Hand amputation.Finger amputation.Foot amputation, removing part of the foot.Toe amputation.
An incision is made below the desired level of the amputation. The calf muscles and skin are cut in a way that creates a "flap." The leg bones are cut with a saw. Some surgeons may fuse the end of the two bones (tibia and fibula) together, called an Ertl technique.

If the type of diabetes that the patient has is not documented in the medical record, E11 codes for type 2 diabetes should be used as a default. If the medical record doesn’t say what type of diabetes the patient has but indicates that the patient uses insulin, the Type 2 diabetes codes should also be used.
For gestational diabetes (diabetes that occurs during pregnancy) women should be assigned a code under the 024.4 subheading and not any other codes under the 024 category.
The “unspecified” codes can be used when not enough information is known to give a more specific diagnosis; in that case, “unspecified” is technically more accurate than a more specific but as yet unconfirmed diagnosis. For more guidelines on using ICD-10 codes for diabetes mellitus, you can consult this document.
For a nontraumatic amputation diagnosis, you code the diagnosis that necessitates the need for the amputation. These are not traumatic. The difference is, a traumatic amputation diagnosis means the limb was severed from the body tru a means of traumatic force, and the limb is already missing when the provider enters the OR. Non traumatic amputation is due to a diagnosis leading to the death of the limb due to lack of circulation and or presence of infection. The limb is still attached and the surgeon then thru surgical precision removes the limb. So you do not code a diagnosis of amputation for this surgery, you code the diagnosis that lead to the decision to remove the limb. Post op you cod surgical aftercare and the amputee status code for acquired absence of limb.
