1. A reaming assembly for preparation of a surgical site, comprising:
a housing defining a passageway that extends along a longitudinal axis;
a rotatable drive shaft at least partially received in the passageway;
a reaming head pivotably coupled to a reaming carrier, the reaming carrier operably coupled to the drive shaft, and the reaming head including a plurality of teeth rotatable about a reaming axis; and
at least one control block releasably secured to the housing at an interface, the at least one control block including a block body having a block axis, a control surface and a through bore extending from the control surface along the block axis, wherein the at least one control block is dimensioned to slidably engage the housing along the interface to secure the at least one control block such that the control surface faces away from a distal end portion of the housing, the through bore is dimensioned to at least partially receive the reaming carrier, the through bore includes a first opening along the interface and a second opening along the control surface, the control surface is non-orthogonal relative to the block axis such that a reaming angle is defined between the longitudinal axis and the reaming axis, and the reaming head is rotatable along the control surface to remove bone.
