A novel rapid self‐integrating, injectable, and bioerodible hydrogel is developed for bone‐cartilage tissue complex regeneration. The hydrogels are able to self‐integrate to form various structures, as can be seen after dying some hydrogel disks pink with rodamine. This hydrogel is demonstrated to engineer cartilage‐bone complex.
