Every year hundreds of thousands people worldwide receive hip prostheses, implants for bone repair, and surgical repair of degraded cartilage. "Over 15 million people worldwide suffer from knee-joint failure each year due to the breakdown of surrounding cartilage in the joint and the inability of this cartilage to repair itself through the natural regenerative processes of healing in the body" [27]. Additionally, at least 10 percent of the population suffers from periodontal disease, and one-third of these individuals will require a tooth implant during their lifetime. The standard procedure for repair of orthopedic injuries by tissue grafting is to harvest tissue from the iliac crest or femur of a patient and surgically placing it at the injury site [59].
