    Abstract: Subchondral bone analog materials and osteochondral constructs that incorporate the subchondral bone analogs are described. The subchondral bone analog materials include a biodegradable matrix, calcium phosphate particles (e.g., hydroxy apatite) and bioactive glass particles. The materials can exhibit sufficient mechanical strength and biochemical properties such that the materials can support boney integration and healing. Osteochondral constructs can include a first layer of the subchondral bone analog material, a second layer of a calcified cartilage analog material, and a third layer of a cartilage analog material.
