1. A surgical instrument system comprising:
a guide pin configured to be inserted into a glenoid of a patient,
a surgical rasp configured to be advanced along the guide pin, the surgical rasp having
a tapered shaft having an inner sidewall,
a cutting head secured to a first end of the tapered shaft, the cutting head being defined by a wedge-shaped body extending between a base and an end,
a V-shaped notch positioned in the end of the wedge-shaped body configured to receive the guide pin,
the inner sidewall of the tapered shaft forming a plurality of elongated openings such that the guide pin can be visualized from more than one vantage point as it is received in the end of the wedge-shaped body, and
a glenoid prosthesis having a body sized and shaped to receive a humeral head, a keel extending from the body of the glenoid prosthesis and having a wedge-shape that corresponds to the wedge-shaped body of the surgical rasp.
