The Fassier-Duval Telescopic Intra-Medullary SystemTM is an innovative Nail designed for patients suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta(OI), skeletal dysplasia and other bone deformities. It was created to prevent or stabilize fractures, or correct deformity of the long bones whilst growth occurs. It is indicated for children 18 months and older suffering from OI, pseudoarthrosis and can also be used concomitantly with external fixators in older children or short statured adults with limb length discrepancy. The Fassier- Duval Rod has been designed for the femur, tibia and humerus.
The FD Rods are manufactured in medical grade Stainless Steel (SS316L, ASTM F138) and are available in five diameters: 3.2, 4.0, 4.8, 5.6 and 6.4 mm.
