PIP: proximal interphalangeal ICD-10-PCS qualifiers for foot amputations refer to rays. A ray includes each metatarsal bone along with its attached phalanx. When an entire metatarsal bone is removed by disarticulating at the TMT joint (between the tarsal bone and metatarsal), it is referred to as a complete detachment.

An above-the-knee amputation is surgery to remove your leg above the knee. Your doctor removed the leg while keeping as much healthy bone, skin, blood vessel, and nerve tissue as possible.
The indications for an above-knee amputation include doubtful prospect of healing at the transtibial level, low likelihood of mobilization, and fixed flexion deformity at the knee.
28810 osteotomy is made through the metatarsal (ultimately in this case). What may be throwing you off is that the doc performed the disarticulation at the MTP joint first (28820) and then afterwards performed the osteotomy through the MT (28820).
In ICD-10-PCS the seventh character defines the qualifier – i.e., an additional attribute of the procedure, if applicable.
ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code V49. 75 : Below knee amputation status.

In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index entry main term Amputation, subterm midtarsal identifies code 84.12, Amputation through foot.

The Alphabetic Index entry main term Extraction, subterm Bone Marrow refers the coding professional to Table 07D. The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 07DR3ZX. The fourth character (R) identifies the body part as bone marrow, iliac. Unlike ICD-9-CM, the code specifies the specific location of the bone marrow biopsy.
The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 0Y6N0ZF. The fourth character (N) identifies the body part as the left foot and the seventh character (F) identifies the level of detachment as partial fifth ray. The definition for partial fifth ray is amputation anywhere along the shaft or head of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot. The fifth character identifies the technique to reach the operative site or approach. The procedural approach was open (0) because an incision was made to reach the operative site.
The fifth character of the code identifies the technique used to reach the operative site. The approach for the bone marrow biopsy was percutaneous (3). In ICD-10-PCS the fifth character always identifies the specific approach utilized to reach the operative site.

ICD-10-PCS qualifiers for foot amputations refer to rays. A ray includes each metatarsal bone along with its attached phalanx. When an entire metatarsal bone is removed by disarticulating at the TMT joint (between the tarsal bone and metatarsal), it is referred to as a complete detachment. Cutting through a portion of the metatarsal bone using a bone saw is a partial detachment.
There are three regions in the foot and amputations can occur anywhere along these bones. Forefoot: metatarsals and phalanges.
When was the last time you really thought about the marvel that is your foot? The human foot is composed of 26 bones, 33 joints, and what seems like endless tendons and ligaments.
