Code 5163: If the leg has been amputated but the stump is bad and a second amputation at thigh level is recommended, then it is rated 60%. (This one is a bit odd and is probably only rarely used.)

Code 5164: If the amputation is at a place around the knee where the knee cannot be used at all, then it is rated 60%.

Code 5165: If the amputation is below the knee, and the knee can still move, then it is rated 40%.

Your condition may also qualify for additional compensation by the VA as Special Monthly Compensation (SMC).
