Abstract:
Disclosed herein are patient-specific cutting guides for guiding a surgical instrument for resecting a portion of a glenoid of a patient. The cutting guides include a base portion having a contact surface shaped to substantially match at least a portion of a cavity of the glenoid. The base portion has a guide hole extending therethrough in which the guide hole has an axis coaxial with an axis of rotation. The cutting guides include one or more stabilization members extending outwardly from the base portion and having a contact surface shaped to substantially match an outer surface of a portion of a scapula of the patient. The stabilization members are oriented to take into account the patient's anatomy in orienting and stabilizing the guide with respect to the glenoid. The guide hole of the base portion is for guiding the surgical instrument to create a guide hole in the glenoid.
