After receiving his medical degree from the University of Geneva in 1994, Mathieu Assal decided to focus on lower limb surgery. He completed his specialization in Orthopedics and Traumatology in Geneva and obtained SMA certification in Orthopaedic Surgery in 1999. In 2000, his career led him to the United States for two years, where he carried out research on foot and ankle trauma under a Research and Clinical Fellowship at one of America’s leading institutions, the Sigvard T.

Between 2002 and 2012, Mathieu Assal directed the Section of Foot and Ankle Surgery and the Section of Orthopedic Infections at the Geneva University Hospitals.

In 2012, he was appointed the President of the Swiss Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology (he held this position until 2016).
His surgical innovations include Achillon (minimally invasive suturing system for the Achilles tendon), Makan (femoral prosthesis for transfemoral amputation cases), PCL-Press (device to measure posterior instability following posterior cruciate ligament tears) and Hypralax (device to measure instability of the foot medial column).
