SIGNATURE PROCEDURE
The Paradise-Bunion™ by Dr. Pav
Dr. Pavelescu's proprietary minimally invasive bunion correction procedure — developed and refined through years of specialized reconstructive practice.
The Paradise-Bunion™ is Dr. Pavelescu's signature approach to minimally invasive bunion correction — a refined, comprehensive technique that addresses hallux valgus as the true three-dimensional deformity it is, rather than simply "shaving a bump." Named for his practice in Southwest Florida's Paradise Coast, the procedure reflects Dr. Pavelescu's commitment to precision, patient comfort, and lasting outcomes.
Drawing on advanced training in reconstructive surgery, deformity correction at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, and AO Foundation technique training, Dr. Pavelescu has synthesized current best-practice MIS methods into a streamlined, highly reproducible procedure designed for the full spectrum of bunion severity — from mild to severe.
Unlike conventional osteotomies that only shift bone in two dimensions, the Paradise-Bunion™ technique corrects deformity in all three planes — addressing the rotational component of the metatarsal that traditional procedures overlook. Patients walk the same day in a post-op sandal and are typically in regular shoes within 6–8 weeks.
