Implant devices having an articular end for repair of articular cartilage defects are provided. The articular end has an oval perimeter, a convex upper face, and a concave lower face. The convex upper face has a first circular pitch radius and a first circular roll radius. At least a portion of the concave lower face has a spherical radius, the convex upper face blending into a rim, wherein at least a first and second portion of the rim extends at least a first distance along a vertical axis and a third and fourth portion of the rim tapers inward along the vertical axis, the rim blending into the concave lower face. The articular cartilage implant devices further include a stem extending from the concave lower face away from the convex upper face along the vertical axis. The stem has a plurality of oval shaped perimeters along the vertical axis.
