Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the repair of damaged tissue present at or on the surface (5, 27) of bone in an animal, the method comprising forming a narrow groove (7, 25) around at least part of said damaged tissue, which groove extends (7, 25) into the bone (3, 29) below the damaged tissue, replacing the tissue around which the groove (7, 25) extends by at least one layer of biocompatible replacement material (9), and anchoring the material (9) to the bone (3, 29) by the use of retaining means (11) extending from the material (9) into the groove (7, 25); instruments for use in the repair of damaged tissue and kits comprising said instruments.
