a pair of arms;

a bone graft receptacle sized and shaped to be able to receive a portion of the orthopaedic implant within the receptacle, the bone graft receptacle coupled to each of the pair of arms; and

a linking mechanism, the linking mechanism including a recess sized and shaped to extend at least partially around the portion of the orthopaedic implant, the linking mechanism coupled to the bone graft receptacle; wherein the bone graft receptacle includes a pair of cavities, one of the pair of cavities coupled to one of the pair of arms and the other of the pair of cavities coupled to the other of the pair of arms.

2. The bone graft applicator of claim 1 , wherein each of the pair of cavities is linked to the linking mechanism via a hinge.

3. The bone graft applicator of claim 1 , wherein the linking mechanism is a ring defining a recess.

4. The bone graft applicator of claim 1 , wherein the recess is sized and shaped to fit over the portion of the orthopaedic implant.

5. The bone graft applicator of claim 1 , wherein each of the pair of arms includes a handle.

6. The bone graft applicator of claim 1 , wherein the linking mechanism includes a u-shaped wall and an arcuate wall.

7. A kit for applying bone graft, the kit comprising:

a glenoid component having a peg; and

a bone graft applicator sized and shaped to apply bone graft to the peg of the glenoid component, the bone graft applicator including a pair of arms, a pair of cavities coupled to the pair of arms, and a linking mechanism coupled to the pair of cavities, wherein the pair of cavities can be in an opened position such that one of the pair of cavities is located at an angle from the other of the pair of cavities and the angle is in the range of about 100 degrees to about 180 degrees.

8. The kit of claim 7 , wherein the peg has a plurality of fins and the bone graft applicator is sized and shaped to apply bone graft between the plurality of fins.

9. The kit of claim 7 , wherein the peg includes a porous coating and the bone graft applicator is sized and shaped to apply bone graft into pores of the porous coating.

10. The kit of claim 7 , wherein the linking mechanism is sized and shaped to extend around the peg.

11. The kit of claim 10 , wherein the linking mechanism is a ring defining a recess, the recess having a diameter larger than the peg.
