Original Abstract Submitted

a surgical guide includes a first guide arm extending from a first end to a second end on a first longitudinal axis. the first guide arm defines a first plurality of openings sized and configured to receive a first guide element therethrough. a second guide arm extends from a first end to a second end on a second longitudinal axis. the second guide arm defines a second plurality of openings sized and configured to receive a second guide element therethrough. a pivot element couples the first end of the first guide arm to the first end of the second guide arm such that an angular distance between the first guide arm and the second guide arm can be adjusted in a first plane.
