About Treace Medical Concepts
Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. is a medical technology company with the goal of being the recognized leader in the surgical treatment of bunions and other foot & ankle conditions.

Treace continues to expand its footprint in the marketplace by extending its SpeedPlate® rapid compression implant platform to new applications, providing surgeons with advanced digital solutions with its IntelliGuide® patient specific, pre-op planning and cut guide technology, and offering SuperBite™ Fully-Threaded Compression Screws for use in fusions throughout the foot.
