1. A method of preparing a surgical site comprising:
positioning a first reaming assembly at the surgical site, the first reaming assembly comprising:
a housing including a housing body extending along a first axis between proximal and distal end portions, and including a hood along the distal end portion;
a first drive shaft;
a first reaming head coupled to the first drive shaft, the first reaming head including a first reaming portion having first cutting teeth, the first drive shaft moveable relative to the hood such that the hood at least partially surrounds the first cutting teeth; and
a lock mechanism configured to set an axial position of the first reaming head relative to the hood with respect to the first axis;
moving the first reaming head relative to the hood and then actuating the lock mechanism to set the axial position of the first reaming head according to a first reaming depth;
rotating the first reaming head to establish a first recess in the bone, the first recess associated with the first reaming depth;
positioning a second reaming assembly at the surgical site, the second reaming assembly comprising:
a second drive shaft; and
a second reaming head coupled to the second drive shaft, the second reaming head including a second reaming portion having a distal face and second cutting teeth distributed about a perimeter of the distal face, the distal face free of any cutting teeth; and
rotating the second reaming head to establish a second recess in the bone, the first recess extending inwardly from the second recess; and
inserting an implant into the first and second recesses.
