Abstract
A method of preparing and/or delivering an osteochondral plug may include, positioning a tissue graft on a cutting guide, wherein the tissue graft may have been removed from a larger body of tissue to define a shaped surface. The tissue graft may include a top surface having a cartilage surface. The method may further include advancing a first cutter along a cutting direction toward the tissue graft to cut the tissue graft to form the osteochondral plug having an external wall parallel to the cutting direction and transverse to the top surface. Positioning the tissue graft on the cutting guide may include placing the shaped surface on a registration surface of the cutting guide. The registration surface may have a reference shape that corresponds to a shape of at least part of the shaped surface.
