inserting a first guide wire into a bone;

determining a desired corrected placement of the first guide wire;

inserting the first guide wire into an initial channel of a device along an initial axis;

sliding the device along the first guide wire until a distal end thereof abuts a surface of the bone; and

inserting a second guide wire through a correction channel of the device, the correction channel being oriented, when the device is received over the first guide wire, to direct the second guide wire into the bone along a correction axis of insertion corresponding to the desired corrected placement of the first guide wire, the correction axis of insertion of the second guide wire being selected between an axis that is angled at a fixed angle relative to the initial axis and an axis that is parallel to the initial axis.
