The study is performed at hospitals in the US, Canada, Germany, UK and Denmark and 180 patients are randomised at a 2:1 ratio to either the Episealer group (n=120) or the control group, microfracturing (n=60). All patients will be followed over a period of 2 years. The study is intended for patients in the age group 30-70 years with cartilage lesions in the femoral knee joint.
