1. A method of surgically repairing, replacing or resurfacing a hip joint of a patient, comprising:
- placing a patient-specific surface of a surgical instrument on a corresponding surface of a hip joint of a patient to define a predetermined guide path relative to an axis of the hip extending through a femoral neck of the patient, wherein the surface is substantially a negative of the corresponding surface of the hip and the patient-specific surface and the location of the guide path are each based at least in part on image data of the hip of the patient;
removing tissue along the guide path;
implanting a prosthesis at the site of the removed tissue.

4. A method of surgically repairing, replacing or resurfacing a hip joint of a patient, comprising:
-
placing a patient-specific surface of a surgical instrument on a corresponding cartilage surface of a hip joint of a patient to position a guide in a predetermined location relative to the cartilage surface of the hip joint, wherein the patient-specific surface is substantially a negative of the corresponding cartilage surface of the hip and wherein the patient-specific surface and the location of the guide path are each based at least in part on image data of the hip of the patient; using the guide to surgically alter the proximal femur by cutting, drilling or reaming tissue of the proximal end of the femur; implanting a prosthesis having a location based at least in part on the location of the cut, drilled or reamed tissue.
