About Treace Medical Concepts

Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. is a medical technology company with the goal of being the recognized leader in the surgical treatment of bunions and other foot & ankle conditions. Bunions are complex 3-dimensional deformities that originate from an unstable joint in the middle of the foot and affect approximately 67 million Americans, of which Treace estimates 1.1 million are annual surgical candidates.

To further support the needs of surgeons and bunion patients, Treace offers its Adductoplasty® Midfoot Correction System, designed for reproducible surgical correction of midfoot deformities, two systems for minimally invasive osteotomy procedures, namely the Nanoplasty® 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction System and the Percuplasty® Percutaneous 3D Bunion Correction System, and the SpeedMTP® 1st MTP Fusion System. Treace continues to expand its footprint in the marketplace by extending its SpeedPlate® rapid compression implant platform to new applications, providing surgeons with advanced digital solutions with its IntelliGuide® patient specific, pre-op planning and cut guide technology, and offering SuperBite™ Fully-Threaded Compression Screws for use in fusions throughout the foot.
