The present application describes various embodiments of guides that include one or more removable struts. The guides may include at least two guide portions that are connected to one another via at least one strut. In embodiments, the at least one strut may be designed such that it could be disconnected from at least one of the guide portions. The removable feature of the strut allows a surgeon to perform an osteotomy procedure by using the cutting slots and other relevant markings defined on the secured portions of the guide.
