A cartilage cutter, comprising: - an elongated handle; - a head region connected to said elongated handle, said head region further comprising • an apical portion which connects with said elongated handle; and • a basal portion which inserts within an implantation site, the basal portion having a basal surface that is substantially flat; characterised in that the head region further comprises a first angled side region and a second angled side region, wherein said two angled side regions taper from said apical portion toward said basal portion; said first angled side region further comprising: • a tapered blade surface, • a supporting tapered angled surface positioned opposingly to said tapered blade surface; and • a hollowed region located between said tapered blade surface and said supporting tapered angled surface, wherein said hollowed region is sized such that when tissue in contact with said tapered blade surface is cut it is of a thickness accommodating insertion within said hollowed region. - an elongated handle; - a head region connected to said elongated handle, said head region further comprising • an apical portion which connects with said elongated handle; and • a basal portion which inserts within an implantation site, the basal portion having a basal surface that is substantially flat; characterised in that the head region further comprises a first angled side region and a second angled side region, wherein said two angled side regions taper from said apical portion toward said basal portion; said first angled side region further comprising: • a tapered blade surface, • a supporting tapered angled surface positioned opposingly to said tapered blade surface; and • a hollowed region located between said tapered blade surface and said supporting tapered angled surface, wherein said hollowed region is sized such that when tissue in contact with said tapered blade surface is cut it is of a thickness accommodating insertion within said hollowed region. • an apical portion which connects with said elongated handle; and • a basal portion which inserts within an implantation site, the basal portion having a basal surface that is substantially flat; characterised in that the head region further comprises a first angled side region and a second angled side region, wherein said two angled side regions taper from said apical portion toward said basal portion; said first angled side region further comprising: • a tapered blade surface, • a supporting tapered angled surface positioned opposingly to said tapered blade surface; and • a hollowed region located between said tapered blade surface and said supporting tapered angled surface, wherein said hollowed region is sized such that when tissue in contact with said tapered blade surface is cut it is of a thickness accommodating insertion within said hollowed region. • a tapered blade surface, • a supporting tapered angled surface positioned opposingly to said tapered blade surface; and • a hollowed region located between said tapered blade surface and said supporting tapered angled surface, wherein said hollowed region is sized such that when tissue in contact with said tapered blade surface is cut it is of a thickness accommodating insertion within said hollowed region.
