Paragraph Number

397

In one embodiment, the offset feature 2308 may be activated by sliding the positioning guide 2300 down along a posterior pin 2220 and an anterior pin 2222 until a medial side 2314 contacts a first bone fragment. Next, the positioning guide 2300 may be pressed against a bone and/or a pin may be pulled in an opposite direction from the direction the positioning guide 2300 is pressed until a second bone fragment engages the medial side 2314. In this manner, the offset feature 2308 can facilitate positioning of two bone fragments prior to fixation. In one embodiment, the offset feature 2308 is configured to translate a posterior bone fragment 2114 relative to an anterior bone fragment 2116. The posterior bone fragment 2114 and anterior bone fragment 2116 may be formed by way of a first osteotomy 2046 or a second osteotomy 2048.
