a cut guide including a first elongate aperture and a second elongate aperture communicating between a first face and a second face and arranged so as to define an acute angle therebetween with an intersection;
a first hole located at the intersection communicating between the first face and the second face;
a second hole defined through the cut guide, wherein a central axis of the second hole is oriented at an acute angle in the range from 15° to 45° relative to the second face, wherein the first hole is configured to receive a first wire and the second hole is configured to receive a coupling wire to position the cut guide against a bone; and
a window defined through the cut guide from the first face to the second face to view the coupling wire positioned in the second hole; and
