Zusammenfassung: | Implants (108) to repair damaged or defective soft tissue compriseing cartilage within a joint space. The implants provided comprise a stimulating region (102) and an anchoring region (130). In several embodiments, the implants are spherical. A discontinuity between a surface of the implant and the surrounding cartilage advantageously facilitates implant placement and stimulation of generation of fibrous tissue, and subsequently new cartilage. |
