1. A kit for setting an implant on bone segments, comprising:
a first drill guide comprising a plurality of parts that comprises a first plate part and a second plate part that is separate and distinct from the first plate part, said first drill guide having a first plurality of wire holes comprising a plurality of raised wire holes;
a second drill guide comprising at least one wire hole and at least one screw hole; and
an implant configured to fuse the bone segments together, comprising at least one plate having a plurality of holes, a substantially longitudinal extension, a first end section, a second end section, and a middle section,
wherein the plurality of holes of the implant comprise:
a second plurality of wire holes; and
a first plurality of screw holes,
wherein said second plurality of wire holes are configured to receive wires that place the implant on the bone segments and thereby align the implant and the bone segments in a particular rotated arrangement of the bone segments,
wherein said first plurality of screw holes are configured to receive screws to secure the implant to the bone segments and thereby secure the particular rotated arrangement of the bone segments, and
wherein a plurality of screw holes of said first plurality of screw holes of the implant are beveled,
wherein the first plate part of the first drill guide comprises a front face surface and a first plurality of raised wire holes of the plurality of raised wire holes that extend out transverse past the front face surface of the first plate part, and the second plate part of the first drill guide comprises a front face surface, a second plurality of raised wire holes of the plurality of raised wire holes that extend out transverse past the front face surface of the second plate part, and a raised ridge with a plurality of provisional osteotomy holes that extends out transverse past the front face surface of the second plate part, and wherein the first plurality of raised wire holes are oriented at different orientations than the second plurality of raised wire holes such that the first plurality of raised wire holes are non-parallel to the second plurality of raised wire holes when the first plate part and the second plate part are coupled together longitudinally next to each other and with their front face surfaces substantially aligned with each other.
