There are disclosed compositions for achieving reverse phase characteristics, methods of preparation thereof, and the use of amniotic tissue for cartilage repair. In an embodiment, a biocompatible articular tissue repair composition may have a therapeutic material and a carrier configured for achieving reverse phase characteristics, and methods for using the composition. In various embodiments, the therapeutic material may be amniotic tissue. In various embodiments, the carrier may be a poloxamer such as poloxamer 407. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Amnion putty for cartilage repair

There is disclosed a synthetic, composite graft to support robust bone growth. In an embodiment, the synthetic, composite graft includes a synthetic scaffold material including a material resorbable through natural cellular processes; a signaling factor combined with the scaffold material; a cell adherence factor coated on the scaffold material; a quantity of viable bone forming cells adhered to the scaffold; and a matrix substrate binding the scaffold material. There is disclosed a method of forming a synthetic, composite graft to support bone growth for bone grafting. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a synthetic scaffold material including a material resorbable through natural cellular processes; combining a signaling factor with the scaffold material; coating a cell adherence factor on the scaffold material; adhering a quantity of viable bone forming cells to the scaffold; and encasing the scaffold material with a matrix substrate. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Synthetic, composite osteogenic bone graft

Embodiments of the present invention encompass graft assemblies, and methods for their use and manufacture. An exemplary bone graft assembly includes first and second bone pieces having respective mating features which, when combined, define non-uniform press fit. Related embodiments encompass graft assemblies having enclosed or hidden mating features.
