Abstract
A system and method for use when forming an osteotomy that rely upon an arrangement of surgical instruments with a targeting guide having a handle extending substantially along a longitudinal axis, with one or more burr holes extending from a first side of the handle to a second side of the handle. A head is coupled to a distal end of the longitudinal handle. The head defines a plurality of guide holes sized and configured to receive a k-wire therethrough. The arrangement allows accurate adjustment of the surgical instruments in relation to the bones targeted for the osteotomy.
