Use of Demineralised Bone Matrix (DBX) in Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD)

Brief Summary
This is a 1:1 randomised pilot study in 30 patients in 1 site in Helsinki, Finland. The investigators hypothesize that function, pain, type and quality of cartilage in adult patients with osteochondritis dissecans of the knee will be better in the DBX group compared to the mosaicplasty group.
