Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A medical implant for cartilage repair at an articulating surface of a joint includes a contoured, substantially plate shaped, implant body and at least one extending post. The implant body has an articulate surface configured to face the articulating part of the joint and a bone contact surface configured to face the bone structure of a joint, where the articulate and bone contact surfaces face mutually opposite directions and the bone contact surface is provided with the extending post. A cartilage contact surface connects the articulate and the bone contact surfaces and is configured to contact the cartilage surrounding the implant body in a joint. The cartilage contact surface has a coating that substantially only includes a bioactive material.
