ABSTRACT:
An osteochondral repair assembly and a kit, both include an osteochondral regenerative implant and an associated retracting spacer. A method of osteochondral regeneration includes forming a recipient socket in a chondral area of an articular surface in need of repair, placing a retracting spacer at the recipient socket and removably wedging the retracting spacer between a wall of the recipient socket and an implant.
