Doctors Pierre Duval and François Fassier developed the Fassier-Duval Telescoping IM System, an innovative medical tool used to treat children with osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disorder that results in brittle bones. The global standard for this type of care, the Fassier-Duval nail has improved the well-being and gross motor functions in thousands of children, even enabling some children in wheelchairs to walk independently.
