1. A combination device for use in preparing a bone to receive a prosthetic component, comprising:
a body section;
a drill section configured to bore a hole in the bone and extending away from the body section, the drill section defining a first longitudinal axis and a first maximum radius perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis;
a plurality of reaming fins extending downwardly from the body section and outwardly from the drill section; and
a first drill guide extending through the body section at a location between a first pair of the plurality of reaming fins, the first drill guide defining a second longitudinal axis parallel to the first longitudinal axis and a second maximum radius perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis,
wherein
the first longitudinal axis is spaced apart from the second longitudinal axis by a distance which is greater than the first maximum radius plus the second maximum radius.
