1. A transfer guide for an orthopaedic procedure comprising:
a guide body including an interface configured to be coupled to an implant of a prosthesis, wherein the guide body includes a passage dimensioned to at least partially receive a guide pin insertable in bone;
one or more transfer members extending from the guide body, wherein the one or more transfer members are configured to contact tissue, wherein the one or more transfer members are dimensioned according to a patient-specific surface contour of a patient anatomy, wherein the one or more transfer members are moveable relative to the guide body, and wherein the one or more transfer members include a plurality of transfer members circumferentially distributed about a periphery of the guide body; and
an alignment member extending from the guide body and spaced apart from the interface, wherein the alignment member includes a protrusion adapted to limit relative rotation between the transfer guide and the implant in response to insertion of the protrusion into an aperture of the implant.
