The present invention relates to guide systems and methods for resecting at least a portion of a joint articulation surface on a bone by mounting a first cutting guide on the joint articulation surface. A first portion of the joint articulation surface is resected using the first cutting guide as a guide for resecting. A second cutting guide is then mounted on the joint articulation surface following which the first cutting guide is removed. A second portion of the joint articulation surface is then resected using the second cutting guide template as a guide for resecting, at least a section of the second portion of the joint articulation surface having been previously covered by the first guide template.
