In the embodiment of Figure 22a, the posterior pin guide 2202 is configured to guide the posterior pin 2220 into a posterior bone fragment 2114 (See Figure 21J) parallel to an osteotomy (e.g., first osteotomy 2046) formed using the posterior resection feature 2022a. The anterior pin guide 2204 is configured to guide the anterior pin 2222 into an anterior bone fragment 2116 (See Figure 21J) parallel to an osteotomy (e.g., second osteotomy 2048) formed using the anterior resection feature 2022b. Alternatively, or in addition, the anterior pin guide 2204 is configured to guide the anterior pin 2222 into an anterior bone fragment 2116 (See Figure 21J) substantially parallel to an osteotomy (e.g., second osteotomy 2048) formed using the anterior resection feature 2022b. The anterior pin 2222 may be deployed at an angle that is not parallel to the osteotomy (e.g., second osteotomy 2048) such that when the osteotomy is reduced a predetermined degree of compression is applied to the cut faces of the osteotomy.
