1. A cutting guide for performing a bone osteotomy procedure, comprising: a first arm having a first cutting guide surface formed therein, the first arm having a first rounded groove formed therein; a second arm pivotably connected to the first arm, the second arm having a second cutting guide surface formed therein, and the second arm having a second rounded groove formed therein; a distractor operatively engaged with both the first and second arms; a first affixation member adapted to affix the first arm to a bone; and a second affixation member adapted to affix the second arm to the bone; wherein the cutting guide is adapted to be affixed to the bone with the first affixation member extending transverse to the first arm and into the bone and the second affixation member extending transverse to the second arm and into the bone, such that the first cutting guide surface faces the second cutting guide surface with the first and second rounded grooves together defining a substantially circular bore, wherein the first arm and second arm are rotatable with respect to each other, and wherein actuation of the distractor causes the distractor to apply a force on the first arm and an oppositely directed force on the second arm to cause rotation of the first arm and second arm relative to each other.
