A biomedical material for artificial cartilage is provided which employs a core material comprising a structure made of organic fibers, is flexible and has nearly ideal deformation properties, can be bonded and fixed to living-body bones such as vertebral bodies without fail at a high force, and is free from the generation of fine particles caused by wearing. The biomedical material for artificial cartilage comprises a core material comprising a structure which is either a three-dimensional woven structure or knit structure made of organic fibers arranged along three or more axes or a structure comprising a combination of the woven structure and the knit structure and plates superposed respectively on the upper and lower sides of the core material, the plates being made of a biodegradable and bioabsorbable polymer containing bioactive bioceramic particles.
