FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: new method allows revascularization and forming additional source of osteogenesis in central sections of free transplants susceptible to resorption and fractures, thus preventing complications and curtailing osteal trochlea formation period. For this purpose, recess is to be made in middle third of free autotransplant to accommodate vascular-osteoperiosteal rib fragment to provide additional source of revascularization and osteogenesis. EFFECT: unobstructed revascularization and provision of additional source of osteogenesis.
