The reaming lobe extends from part of the periphery of the guide portion. The reaming lobe has a reaming lower surface configured to ream bone outside of the guide reamed portion of the bone when the guide portion is rotated and urged towards the guide reamed portion of the bone. A second reamer may also be provided to form a reaming kit.
