Treace Enters High Volume Osteotomy Market with Nanoplasty™ 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction™ Procedure
November 04 2024 - 7:00AM
Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the “Company”)
(NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a
fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of bunions and related
midfoot deformities through its flagship Lapiplasty® and
Adductoplasty® Procedures, today announced the limited market
release of the Nanoplasty™ 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction™
System and Procedure, a revolutionary approach to minimally
invasive (MIS) bunion surgery.
The Nanoplasty™ MIS System is designed to deliver
a reproducible 3D correction of the bunion deformity through a
cosmetically appealing, hidden incision on the side of the foot and
help patients get back to their active lifestyles. This system
represents the Company’s first entry point into the metatarsal
osteotomy segment--the largest segment of the bunion
market--currently estimated to represent approximately 70% of the
450,000 bunion surgeries performed annually in the U.S.1
“As the pioneers and leaders in 3D bunion
correction with the patented Lapiplasty® Procedure, we are excited
to announce the limited market release of the first in our lineup
of minimally invasive osteotomy solutions,” stated John T. Treace,
CEO and Founder of Treace. “The Nanoplasty™ Procedure allows us,
for the first time, to address the large metatarsal osteotomy
segment of our $5B+ US bunion market opportunity. The Nanoplasty™
Procedure, combined with our market-leading Lapiplasty® and
Adductoplasty® Procedures, represents a significant milestone in
our strategy to provide a comprehensive portfolio of elegantly
instrumented 3D bunion solutions to address the evolving needs of
surgeons and patients alike.”
Surgeon design team member for the Nanoplasty™
System, Jonathan Kaplan, MD (Associate Chief of the Foot and Ankle
Division at Duke University) commented, “The Nanoplasty™ System is
a game changer for surgeons seeking to engage the growing patient
demand for MIS osteotomy bunion surgery without the complexity and
steep learning curves of current MIS osteotomy systems on the
market. The Nanoplasty™ System offers surgeons an advanced,
instrumented solution allowing them to reproducibly correct all
three planes of the patient’s bunion deformity through a discreet
1.5 centimeter incision hidden on the side of the foot.”
“As MIS surgeons, it’s our goal to alleviate
patients’ bunion pain, allow them a quick return to their active
lives, while minimizing incision size and visual scars. I am
excited to partner with Treace and fellow MIS design team members,
Tyler Gonzalez, MD, Holly Johnson, MD, Brian Loder, DPM, Oliver
Schipper, MD, and Ettore Vulcano, MD, to bring leading-edge MIS
technologies like Nanoplasty™ to patients,” Dr. Kaplan
concluded.
Full commercialization of the Nanoplasty™ 3D MIS
Bunion Correction™ System is anticipated to occur within the first
half of 2025.

Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. is a medical
technology company with the goal of advancing the standard of care
for the surgical management of bunion and related midfoot

bunion patients, Treace has introduced its

reproducible surgical correction of midfoot deformities. The
Company continues to expand its footprint in the foot and ankle
