This invention provides methods for optimal implantation of a solid substrate for promoting cell or tissue growth or restored function in an osteochondral, bone or cartilage tissue in a subject in need thereof. The methods include selecting and preparing a solid substrate for promoting cell or tissue growth or restored function for implantation, which solid substrate has a length and width or that promotes a tight fit within the boundaries of the implantation site and is further characterized by a height sufficient such that when a first terminus of said solid substrate is implanted within a bone in a site for implantation, a second terminus of said solid substrate is at a height at least 2 mm less than an articular cartilage layer surface or is proximal to a tide mark region in said implantation site and optionally applying a biocompatible polymer layer to an apical surface of said implant, which layer does not exceed the articular cartilage layer surface in height. Tools for implementation of optimal positioning are described including a unique tool (5-120) for trimming cartilage at the implantation site.
This invention provides, inter alia, a device having a cage having an opening or window in at least one of its walls that allows for the insertion of bone growth promoting materials therethrough, comprising one or more openings in one or more of the walls of the cage, designed to receive bone growth promoting materials, including coral-based materials, which facilitate in the fusion with the treated bone, and which optionally serves to reinforce the stability of the implanted structure. Methods of stabilizing two skeletal structures relative to one another, joining two skeletal structures which are discontinuous and repairing a ligament tear or replacing a ligament making use of a bone fusion device of the invention are described.
This invention provides aragonite- and calcite-based scaffolds for the repair, regeneration, enhancement of formation or a combination thereof of cartilage and/or bone, which scaffolds comprise at least two phases, wherein each phase differs in terms of its chemical content, or structure, kits comprising the same, processes for producing solid aragonite or calcite scaffolds and methods of use thereof.

SOLID SUBSTRATES FOR PROMOTING CELL AND TISSUE GROWTH
This invention provides solid substrates for promoting cell or tissue growth or restored function, which solid substrate is characterized by a specific fluid uptake capacity value of at least 75%, which specific fluid uptake capacity value is determined by establishing a spontaneous fluid uptake value divided by a total fluid uptake value. This invention also provides solid substrates for promoting cell or tissue growth or restored function, which solid substrate is characterized by having a contact angle value of less than 60 degrees, when in contact with a fluid. This invention also provides solid substrates for promoting cell or tissue growth or restored function, which solid substrate is characterized by a substantial surface roughness (Ra) as measured by scanning electron microscopy or atomic force microscopy. The invention also provides for processes for selection of an optimized coral-based solid substrate for promoting cell or tissue growth or restored function and applications of the same.
