Joint support and subchondral support system

A joint support and subchondral support system for providing structural and dampening support to damaged subchondral bone adjacent to a body joint, comprising:

• a primary bearing strut element of variable geometry and thickness having a longitudinal body and an inner edge and an outer edge, suitable for insertion within the subchondral bone;
• the longitudinal body having a porosity to allow vascularity, bridging bone, and other biological elements to pass through;
• the inner edge having scalloping to penetrate the subchondral bone during insertion;
• and
• the outer edge having at least two grooves formed therein an inner surface of the longitudinal body and contoured to fit the subchondral bone at the treatment site.

• a contoured, porous plate having a variable shaped inner surface, outer surface, and peripheral surface of variable thickness extending between the Inner surface and the outer surface, suitable for insertion within the subchondral bone;
• the inner surface, outer surface and peripheral surface each having a concave portion and a convex portion;
• wherein the inner edge of the primary bearing strut element is in direct communication with the contoured porous plate within the subchondral bone being treated.
