3. A system including a graft positioning guide for performing a Latarjet procedure, comprising:
a first patient-matched portion having a first surface configured to conform to a glenoid surface of a specific patient and configured to receive the glenoid surface;
a second patient-matched portion having a second surface configured to conform to a surface of a coracoid graft and configured to receive the coracoid graft of the specific patient; and one or more holes defined in the graft positioning guide adapted for positioning one or more fasteners to bind the coracoid graft to a prepared portion of the glenoid surface of the specific patient;
and
a patient-specific coracoid guide defining a surface configured to conform to a coracoid process of a specific patient and a patient-specific glenoid guide defining a surface configured to confirm to the glenoid of the specific patient are adapted to be used to prepare the coracoid process of the specific patient for attachment to the glenoid of the specific patient in a preoperatively planned position; and
wherein the graft positioning guide is configured to hold the coracoid process in the preoperatively planned position with respect to the glenoid while fasteners are placed.
