Claim Text:
1. A method of drilling a glenoid cavity with a drill guide, the method comprising the steps of: advancing a drill guide over an alignment pin extending from the glenoid cavity, the alignment pin having a longitudinal axis; adjoining a first drive shank section to a second drive shank section at a collar; associating a first drill bit to a shank opening in the second drive shank section; coupling a drive attachment defined by the first drive shank section to a chuck of a drill; using the drill to create a first hole in the glenoid cavity through a first guide hole of the drill guide by rotatably activating the first drill bit; disassociating the drill from the first drill bit while the first drill bit is still inserted into the glenoid cavity through the drill guide; substantially preventing the drill guide from rotating with respect to the longitudinal axis of the alignment pin with the first drill bit; and using the drill to create a second hole in the glenoid cavity through a second guide hole of the drill guide by rotatably activating a second drill bit.
