Described are plug grafts and in particular embodiments osteochondral plug grafts and grafting methods which utilize unique plug geometries and cooperative graft/host tissue interfaces to improve stability of grafted plugs within host tissue. Embodiments of the invention include harvested osteochondral or synthetic plug grafts having bore geometries other than circular cylinders and which are implantable in correspondingly prepared host sites to resist rotation and improve stability.

Cette invention concerne des greffes en bouchon et en particulier des greffes ostéo-cartilagineuses en bouchon ainsi que des méthodes faisant intervenir les géométries spécifiques des bouchons et les interfaces greffes/tissus hôtes pour améliorer la stabilité de bouchons greffés dans des tissus hôtes. Dans divers modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne des greffes ostéo-cartilagineuses cultivées ou synthétiques présentant une forme autre que cylindrique, qui peuvent être implantées dans des sites préparés en conséquence dans le but de résister à une rotation et offrir une meilleure stabilité.
