The navigation guide 1000 may differ from the navigation guide 900 because the navigation guide 1000 may not include a specific coupler 942. Instead, the navigation guide 1000 may include another feature that enables the separation of guide pins in the set of proximal holes 924 and/or the set of distal holes 926 from each other. In the illustrated embodiment, this feature is a frangible section 1002 between the proximal end 902 and the distal end 904. The frangible section 1002 may be configured to separate the proximal end 902 from the distal end 904 by dividing the body 906 in response to a force delivered by a user to the frangible section 1002. Alternatively, or in addition, the frangible section 1002 may separate one or the other of the set of proximal holes 924 or the set of distal holes 926 from the body 906 in response to a force delivered by a user to the frangible section 1002.
