Methods and compositions are provided for the treatment and repair of defects in the cartilage or bone of humans and other animals as in full-thickness defects in joints. The defect in bone is filled with a matrix having pores large enough to allow cells to populate the matrix and to form blood vessels. The matrix filling the bone defect contains an angiogenic factor and also contains an osteogenic factor in an appropriate delivery system. To induce cartilage formation, a defect in cartilage is filled with a matrix having pores sufficiently large to allow cartilage repair cells to populate the matrix. The matrix filling the defect in carti- lage contains a proliferation agent and also contains a transforming factor in an appropriate delivery system. The matrix may al- so contain a chemotactic agent to attract cartilage repair cells. In a full- thickness defect, the defect sites in bone and cartilage are separated from each other by a membrane, which is sealed to the cartilage-bone junction and which prevents blood vessels and associated cells from penetrating from one site to the other.
