Bleeding vessels are ligatured and towels clipped to the skin ends of the fragments are then exposed, cleared, freshened, and shapedfor the reception of the graft. The graft, taken as a rule from the tibia, isnow cut, the length and shape being determined by the use of calipers and a. Fig. 103.—{Cole, Brit. J. of Surg.) pattern cut in sheet lead. The plates are screwed to the graft before thedetaching cross-cuts are made (Fig. 102).
