The most common treatment of bone defects involves the use of autograft suffering from co-morbidity and the need for two operations. Others include allografts and alloplastics, but none have succesfully built longterm functional bone in vivo.
Current treatment options for severe articular cartilage injuries are expensive, lengthy, palliative in
nature, and result in generation of fibrous cartilage, which is ill adapted to the mechanical forces within a large joint, such as the knee. The LevOss scaffolds for bone and cartilage target a clearly defined market for spinal fusion surgery and for grade III/IV cartilage injuries with an increasing demand for better solutions and few competitors.
