Wiki amputation

Could I get some opinions on this one, please? "Attention was then directed to the left great toe, where a full-thickness incision made just proximal to the first metatarsophalangeal joint. A sagittal saw was then used to resect the distal first metatarsal. The great toe and distal first metatarsal were then dissected free. " This was the entire surgery.
He did not disarticulate the toe (28820), nor the metatarsal (28810). What about 28122?

Appreciate any help

In my opinion you need to question the surgeon more, his dictation does not seem to have enough information in it.

I would also query the provider. What was the technique that was used, was there anesthesia involved etc.
