1. An assembly comprising:
a first portion including an anchor attached to a first end of the first portion, the anchor configured to be inserted into an intramedullary canal of a first bone fragment;
a second portion pivotally attached to a second end of the first portion via a sliding pin within a curved slot, and including a first skin-interfacing portion;
a second skin-interfacing portion configured to interface with and secure the assembly to skin of a patient's foot; and
an actuation mechanism attached between the first portion and the second portion that actuates a pivoting of the second portion with respect to the first portion; wherein
the actuation mechanism is rotated to pivot the second portion with respect to the first portion and to draw the sliding pin toward the actuation mechanism causing relative rotation such that, while the anchor is located in the intramedullary canal of the first bone fragment, the first skin-interfacing portion is configured to contact and push a second bone fragment, adjacent to the first bone fragment, off-axis relative to the first bone fragment.
