Abstract
A system includes a base and a targeting guide coupled to the base. The base includes a first member and a second member. The first member defines a first hole for receiving a first fixation element for coupling the first member to a bone. The second member is pivotably coupled to the first member. The second member defines a second hole and a third hole. The second hole is for receiving a second fixation element for coupling the second member to a bone, and the third hole is for receiving an adjustment member for adjusting an angle between the first member and the second member. The targeting guide extends from a first end to a second end and defines a fourth hole adjacent to the second end of the targeting guide. The fourth hole is sized and configured to receive a fixation device therein.
