How would you code this?

Patients phalanx was replanted with good blood flow. However, during the surgery blood flow began to fail & the procedure was converted to a finger amputation with closure. Do you just code the 26951 or 26952 depending on closure? Would you still code the 20816 - 20827 with a M-53?

Thanks in advance for your help
