Claim:
A method of reaming bone around a head of a bone, the bone including an implanted epiphysis component having an upper surface, an outer perimeter and a cavity extending from the upper surface in a distal direction, the method comprising the steps of: coupling a reaming guide to the implanted epiphysis component, coupling a reamer to the reaming guide; and reaming bone around at least a portion of the outer perimeter and below the upper surface of the implanted epiphysis component using the reamer, wherein the reamer guide has a first socket extending into the reamer guide along a first axis, and a second socket extending into the reamer guide along a second axis, and the reamer comprises an axial guide sized and shaped to be at least partially disposed within one of the first socket and the second socket, the method further comprising the step of inserting the reamer protrusion into one of the first socket and the second socket such that the reamer is held in a fixed spatial relationship with the reaming guide during the reaming step.
