Treace Medical completes first surgeries with bunionette system

Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (TMCI) has successfully completed its first surgeries using the Tailorplasty MIS Tailor’s Bunion Correction System. The system is designed to address tailor’s bunions, or bunionettes, which affect around 5-10% of the adult population. The procedure utilizes a minimally invasive approach with an incision of less than 1 centimeter and features a fixation implant that is inserted over a guidewire.

Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, a surgeon involved in the development of the system, highlighted the benefits of this approach, stating that it allows for a quick, controlled, and accurate correction of the deformity. Treace Medical aims to begin commercializing the Tailorplasty System in the first quarter of 2027, with an estimated total addressable market opportunity of $300 million.
