Abstract
A device includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm includes a first arm body that extends from a first end to a second end and a guide. The guide is rotatably coupled to the second end of the first arm body and is configured to be coupled to a first bone. The second arm includes a second arm body extending from a first end to a second end and is coupled to the first arm body such that it is rotatable with respect to the first arm body. The second arm is configured to engage a second bone. In use, rotation of the second arm body with respect to the first arm body changes the distance between the first bone and the second bone and rotation of the guide with respect to the first arm body rotates the first bone.
