FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, particularly to traumatology and orthopaedics. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is performed. Perform arthroscopy. Defect in the knee joint is detected and treated with 4 mm diameter cylindrical cutter. Following stage is followed by a longitudinal incision of 4 cm in the area of the tibio-fibular junction. Autografts are sampled in the form of two blocks so that the surfaces of said blocks, which, when replacing defects, will be upper, had area of 2.57 ± 0.2 cm2 for the fibular block and 3.26 ± 0.2 cm2 for a tibial block. Obtained autografts are placed in the defect zone next to each other.EFFECT: method enables the effective treatment of joints, reliable integration of the transplanted block, coating of large defects by using autografts from the articular surface of the tibia and fibular bone.1 cl, 3 dwg, 2 ex
