Bone-forming device not containing matrix, graft, and method of use thereof

摘要

The present invention provides the use of a matrix-free composition lacking a scaffolding structure comprising an osteogenic protein dispersed in a biocompatible non-rigid, amorphous carrier having no defined surfaces for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for filling a defect locus, for repairing chondral or osteochondral defects or for accelerating cartilage formation at a defect locus.
