Systems and methods for reaming an intramedullary canal of a long bone comprise a trial stem configured to extend into the long bone along an insertion axis and a guide device comprising an adapter configured to couple to the trial stem and a reaming guidepost extending from the adapter along a guide axis, wherein the guide axis and the insertion axis are non-aligned. A method of reaming an intramedullary canal of a long bone to form a complex shaped socket can comprise inserting a stem into the intramedullary canal along an insertion axis, connecting a guide device to the stem, the guide device comprising a guidepost extending along a guide axis and guiding a cannulated reamer along the guidepost to remove bone from the intramedullary canal to form the complex shaped socket, wherein the guide axis and the insertion axis are non-aligned.
