Labral reconstruction system and methods

A graft preparation device comprising:

• a block having:
• a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side;
• a first lateral end and second lateral end, connecting the first longitudinal side and the second longitudinal side;
• a longitudinal recess having an opening and a base extending from the first lateral end to the second lateral end between the first and second longitudinal sides, and having a first longitudinal recess wall and a second longitudinal recess wall that give the longitudinal recess a cross section that mimics a natural shape of a tissue that is to be replaced by a graft, and wherein the first and second longitudinal recess walls are offset at a predetermined angle from one another to be spaced apart at the opening of the longitudinal recess and converge towards one another to form the base of the longitudinal recess;
• and
• a plurality of suture slots sized and shaped such that a suture needle is capable of being inserted therein, wherein the plurality of suture slots are arranged in one or both of the first longitudinal side or the second longitudinal side and communicate with the longitudinal recess.

• a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side;
• a first lateral end and second lateral end, connecting the first longitudinal side and the second longitudinal side, wherein the first lateral end and second lateral end are offset at an angle from each other such that the block is curved to substantially correspond to a natural curvature of tissue of a patient;
• a longitudinal recess having an opening and a base, the longitudinal recess extending from the first lateral end to the second lateral end between the first and second longitudinal sides, and having a first longitudinal recess wall and a second longitudinal recess wall that give the longitudinal recess a cross section that mimics a natural shape of a tissue that is to be replaced by a graft, and wherein the first and second longitudinal recess walls are spaced apart at the opening of the longitudinal recess and converge towards one another to form the base of the longitudinal recess;
