June 8, 2018

Jacksonville Business Journal reporter Will Robinson profiled Treace Medical Concepts in the June 8th issue. The full page story explored the root cause of bunions, the history and rapid growth of the company, why the traditional 2D method of surgical correction often results in recurrences, and the advantages of Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™. Treace Medical CEO John Treace is quoted throughout the story on the existing market opportunity and why Treace is well-positioned to become a market disruptor.
“It’s not unlikely that a foot and ankle surgeon will perform a [bunion] procedure and expect a 50 percent success rate. There aren’t a lot of areas like that where the hurdle for improvement is so low … We’re a couple years ahead of any other company with the only real, viable way to fix all three planes of the problem reproducibly, and to fix the root cause.”

Bunions Get A Bad Rap

Apr 3, 2018 – Quad Community Press – White Bear Lake podiatrist, Christopher Phillips, is one of the first in the metro area to perform a new, patented technique for bunion correction – the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction Procedure. “The procedure is controlled, reproducible and lends itself to confidence in the results,” Phillips said. “It aims at restoring anatomy back to normal by correcting the deformity at the joint. A patient can bear weight almost immediately following the surgery.” According to Jessi Foell, a 40-year-old patient of Dr Phillips, a painful bunion on her left foot kept her from doing things […]

Mayo Clinic Doctor First to Perform Lapiplasty® Procedure In MN

February 19, 2018 – Nathan Sanders, who practices podiatry and wound care at Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea, is using a new surgical procedure to treat bunions by correcting the source of the problem: its base. Whereas there are over 100 surgical procedures that have been described to treat bunions, Dr. Sanders compares them to an analogy of cutting the Tower of Pisa in half and correcting only the top few floors. What had been left, unaddressed, by previous surgical procedures is the tilt. With the Lapiplasty® Procedure, the patient’s bone is realigned at its base and plated […]
