1. A method for performing a shoulder surgery involving preparation of a glenoid surface of a patient's shoulder, comprising:
guiding a guide pin into the glenoid surface along a reaming axis;
placing a partial reaming guide in contact with the glenoid surface over the guide pin, wherein the partial reaming guide comprises:
a guide body including a patient-matched surface shaped to conform to a portion of a scapula of a patient;
a reamer depth stop surface at a first height above the patient-matched surface, the reamer depth stop surface positioned to serve as a depth stop for a reaming device to control a depth of reaming; and
a first hole through the guide body extending from the reamer depth stop surface to the patient-matched surface, the first hole aligned with a reaming axis;
advancing a reamer over the guide pin to ream the glenoid surface;
further advancing the reamer over the guide pin until the reamer contacts the partial reaming guide, whereby such contact limits reaming to only a portion of the glenoid surface.
