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.

The strand retriever includes a body having a first longitudinal tube extending therefrom and a first snare slideably deployable from the first longitudinal tube. The first longitudinal tube is positioned from a first side of the bone in the first hole and the first snare is deployed on a second side of the bone. The first snare passes the first flexible strand through the first hole in the bone. The tissue section is secured to the bone using the first flexible strand.

Abstract: A cut guide includes a first face and an opposed second face. The cut guide further includes a first aperture and a second aperture extending through the cut guide from the first face to the second face. The first and second apertures are configured to guide a surgical tool in cutting a bone. The cut guide further includes a first hole extending through the cut guide from the first face to the second face. The cut guide further includes a second hole extending through the cut guide. A central axis of the second hole is oriented at an acute angle to the second face. The first and second holes are configured to receive a wire to position the guide against the bone.
