Summary:A system and method for aligning a guiding pin relative to a glenoid including a guiding pin insertion guide for orienting the guiding pin relative to the anatomic structure and an axis alignment device. The guiding pin insertion guide includes a base plate and a movable pin orientation device coupled to and extending from the base plate. The axis alignment device has a plurality of through holes that each define a different alignment axis. The guiding pin mates with one of the through holes to align the guiding pin at a patient-specific alignment axis, the guiding pin is then received within the guiding pin insertion guide when mated with the one of the through holes to align the guiding pin insertion guide along the patient-specific alignment axis relative to the base plate, and the guiding pin insertion guide is fixed to the base plate along the patient-specific alignment axis.
