Full Press Release Details
PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Nov. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TMCI), a medical technology company with the goal of being the recognized leader in the surgical treatment of bunions and other foot & ankle conditions, today announced the successful completion of the first cases utilizing its Tailorplasty™ MIS Tailor’s Bunion Correction System.
The Tailorplasty™ procedure extends Treace's instrumented bunion correction platform to tailor's bunions, or "bunionettes” which are painful deformities of the fifth metatarsal estimated to affect approximately 5-10% of the adult population.
Tailorplasty™ provides instrument-guided surgical correction of the bunionette deformity through a MIS (<1cm incision) and features a unique fixation implant that inserts over a guidewire for controlled, reproducible correction and stability during healing.
Surgeon design team member for the Tailorplasty™ System, Jonathan Kaplan, MD (Prisma Health / University of South Carolina School of Medicine), commented, “Tailor's bunions are a condition I commonly treat in my practice, both in my bunion patients and as standalone deformities. Tailor’s bunion correction has traditionally required either a large open incision or a challenging freehand MIS technique, where achieving proper alignment of the osteotomy, and secure fixation, can be unpredictable and lead to inconsistent results. Our goal with the Tailorplasty™ System was to help surgeons confidently achieve a quick, controlled, and accurate correction of this deformity through a MIS approach and help patients return to their active lives quickly.”
“Our initial Tailorplasty™ cases mark another important step in the continued expansion of our market-leading 3D bunion correction portfolio,” said John T. Treace, CEO and Chairman of Treace. “As a common deformity affecting an estimated 5-10% of adults in the US, we estimate the Tailorplasty™ System represents an underserved $300M TAM expansion opportunity for our business. Consistent with our other best-in-class bunion systems, Tailorplasty™ delivers a new solution aimed to transform a challenging freehand surgery to one with instrumented control and reproducibility. The addition of the Tailorplasty™ System further advances Treace’s objective to become a more comprehensive foot and ankle technology partner for our surgeon customers.”
Commercialization of the Tailorplasty™ System is anticipated in the first quarter of 2027. To learn more, click here.
