PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 successful completion of the first cases utilizing SpeedPlate™ MicroQuad™ implants.
The MicroQuad™ implant expands upon the broad utility of the SpeedPlate™ platform, which is designed for fast titanium compression fixation. The MicroQuad™ implant has a unique anatomic design with multiple points of fixation on each side of the joint to deliver dynamic compression with rotational stability through a one-inch incision for compatibility with minimally invasive techniques.
“The MicroQuad™ implant builds on the success of our proprietary SpeedPlate™ technology to provide a highly differentiated solution for fast, stable fixation designed to meet the growing surgeon and patient demand for minimally invasive Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® approaches,” said John T. Treace, CEO, Founder and Board Member of Treace. “We look forward to further expanding surgeon access to the MicroQuad™ implant as we move into full market release within the first half of 2025.”
William T. DeCarbo, DPM, of Greater Pittsburgh Foot & Ankle Center and a member of Treace’s Surgeon Advisory Board, who performed initial cases with the SpeedPlate™ MicroQuad™ implant, commented, “The MicroQuad™ implant takes the SpeedPlate™ system to a new level with an anatomic contour and additional rotational stability that gives me the clinical confidence I can deliver robust fixation through a small incision that patients desire.”

About Treace Medical Concepts
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 deformities. 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. Treace has pioneered and patented the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction® System – a combination of instruments, implants, and surgical methods designed to surgically correct all three planes of the bunion deformity and secure the unstable joint, addressing the root cause of the bunion and helping patients get back to their active lifestyles. To further support the needs of bunion patients, Treace has introduced its Adductoplasty® Midfoot Correction System, designed for reproducible surgical correction of midfoot deformities. The Company continues to expand its footprint in the foot and ankle market with the introduction of its SpeedPlate™ Rapid Compression Implants, an innovative fixation platform with broad versatility across Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® procedures, as well as other common bone fusion procedures of the foot.
