ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for repairing isolated chondral defects using synthetic implants. Lesions in articular tissue are corrected by forming a recipient socket in the tissue. A donor graft of a size corresponding to the recipient socket is harvested from a synthetic specimen made of a synthetic tissue material, such as poly (vinyl) alcohol hydrogel. The donor graft is implanted into the recipient socket.
