Key Points

  • First successful surgical case with HyperPlate™ XM implant performed, demonstrating streamlined insertion and stability.
  • The implant extends Treace’s SpeedPlate® platform with dynamic compression and multiplanar strength for larger midfoot and hindfoot procedures.
  • Commercial launch planned for Q3 2026, targeting growth in procedural adoption and market share expansion in foot and ankle surgery.
  • Impacted sectors include medical technology, orthopedic surgery, and healthcare providers focused on foot and ankle care.

PONTE VEDRA, Fla., June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of bunions and related midfoot deformities, today announced the successful completion of the first case utilizing its HyperPlate™ XM Dynamic Compression Locking Implant.

HyperPlate™ fixation technology further advances the SpeedPlate® implant platform by incorporating FastPitch® locking screws into the titanium compression implants to deliver rapid insertion and dynamic compression across the fusion site with enhanced multiplanar strength and stability. The HyperPlate™ XM Dynamic Compression Locking Implant has been engineered with a versatile anatomic design featuring an ultra-low profile implant with multiple sizes to accommodate a wide range of midfoot and hindfoot procedures including talonavicular, calcaneocuboid, naviculocuneiform and tarsometatarsal fusion applications in addition to Evans calcaneal osteotomies. The HyperPlate™ XM system is complemented with new single-use, sterile instruments, including the GreatReleaseXM™ Rapid Release Instrument, specifically designed to facilitate efficient release and joint preparation of these larger midfoot and hindfoot joints.

Paul Dayton, DPM, of the Foot & Ankle Center of Iowa (Des Moines, Iowa) and a member of Treace’s Surgeon Advisory Board, performed the first case with the new HyperPlate™ XM implant. He commented, “Fusions of the larger joints of the midfoot and hindfoot can be challenging and have been associated with high non-union rates. The HyperPlate™ XM implant’s combination of locking screws and dynamic compression provides a highly stable construct with an anatomic shape designed to promote fusion in these larger midfoot and hindfoot applications. My first case was a talonavicular (TN) joint fusion and I was impressed with the streamlined insertion, anatomic fit, and the stability of the implants. Additionally, achieving complete soft-tissue release of the TN joint was significantly more efficient with the use of the new GreatReleaseXM™ Rapid Release Instrument.”

“The launch of HyperPlate™ XM implants marks another important step in the continued expansion of our market-leading bunion and midfoot portfolio,” said John T. Treace, CEO and Chairman of Treace. “As we highlighted earlier this year, we remain focused on expanding our procedural reach broadly throughout the foot and ankle. HyperPlate™ XM implants are an example of that strategy in action, providing surgeons with another innovative solution that complements our existing technologies and supports the growing adoption of our expanding portfolio. We believe HyperPlate™ XM implants, together with our SuperBite™ Compression Screws platform, strengthens our ability to participate in a larger addressable market, drive increased procedural utilization, and deepen customer engagement, while further advancing Treace as a comprehensive foot and ankle technology partner.




Full commercialization of the HyperPlate™ XM Dynamic Compression Locking Implant, along with a suite of complementary sterile instruments is anticipated in the third quarter of 2026.

Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. is a medical technology company with the goal of advancing the standard of care for the surgical management of bunion and related midfoot deformities. Bunions are complex 3-dimensional deformities that originate from an unstable joint in the middle of the foot and affect approximately 67 million Americans, of which Treace estimates 1.1 million are annual surgical candidates. Treace has pioneered and patented the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction® System – a combination of instruments, implants, and surgical methods designed to surgically correct all three planes of the bunion deformity and secure the unstable joint, addressing the root cause of the bunion and helping patients get back to their active lifestyles. To further support the needs of surgeons and bunion patients, Treace offers its Adductoplasty® Midfoot Correction System, designed for reproducible surgical correction of midfoot deformities, two systems for minimally invasive osteotomy procedures, namely the Nanoplasty® 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction System and the Percuplasty Percutaneous 3D Bunion Correction System, and the SpeedMTP® System. Treace continues to expand its footprint in the marketplace by extending its SpeedPlate® rapid compression implant platform to new applications, as well as providing surgeons with advanced digital solutions with its IntelliGuide® patient specific, pre-op planning and cut guide technology.
