Claim 15:
16. A system for harvesting tissue material comprising bone and cartilage tissue from a body, the system comprising:
a rotary cutter defining a rotary cutter longitudinal axis extending between a rotary cutter proximal end and a rotary cutter distal end, the rotary cutter comprising:
a drive shaft configured to receive input torque; and
an osteochondral cutter configured to cut tissue and receive the tissue material in response to rotation of the osteochondral cutter under pressure against the tissue;

a bone port defining a bone port longitudinal axis extending between a bone port proximal end and a bone port distal end, the bone port comprising a bone port cannulation sized to closely fit over the osteochondral cutter; and
a delivery tube defining a delivery tube longitudinal axis extending between a delivery tube proximal end and a delivery tube distal end;
wherein:
at least one of the bone port proximal end and the bone port distal end is securable to a bone; and
the delivery tube distal end is securable to the bone port proximal end such that the delivery tube longitudinal axis is coaxial with the bone port longitudinal axis.
