Indicated for cuff tear arthropathy, pseudoparalysis, massive irreparable cuff tears. Developed by Grammont: medialized & lowered center of rotation. Deltoid substitutes for deficient rotator cuff. Requires intact deltoid and axillary nerve. Complications: scapular notching, instability, acromial stress fracture.
