[{"type":"text","content":"PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Oct. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace”) (Nasdaq: TMCI), a commercial-stage orthopaedic medical device company driving a paradigm shift in the surgical treatment of hallux valgus (commonly known as bunions) through its Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™ procedure, today announced treatment of the first patient in the Mini3D™ Lapiplasty® clinical study. The study will evaluate outcomes using the Lapiplasty® Mini-Incision™ System. “The Lapiplasty® Mini-Incision™ System and approach have been adapted to enable the same 3-dimensional correction that address the root cause of the bunion problem typically through a smaller 3.5cm incisions vs. the standard Lapiplasty® system. When compared with traditional minimally invasive surgical osteotomies, the Lapiplasty® Mini-Incision™ enables the proper realignment of the first metatarsal bone, restoring natural anatomy, without the need to cut and shift bone to improve appearance,” said Dr. Jody McAleer, DPM, FACFAS Jefferson City Medical Group Department of Podiatry, MO and lead principal investigator.1 “With the first patient now treated, we look forward to advancing the study and reporting on long term outcomes following the procedure.” John T. Treace, CEO of Treace commented, “We are committed to driving clinical data evaluating our Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™ procedure. The Mini3D™ study builds on our ongoing ALIGN3D™ study, but through a Mini-Incision™ approach, providing both patients and physicians with another option to surgically manage bunion deformities.” For additional information on the Lapiplasty® Mini-Incision™ system, including benefits and risks, please visit the Treace Medical website.
