The Grammont total shoulder prosthesis (Delta III) is an original reversed constrained prosthesis. Classical indication is glenohumeral osteoarthritis with massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears. The authors report a Delta III arthroplasty for a rare histological variant of proximal chondrosarcoma, by pointing out the technical and biomechanical principles of this arthroplasty. Clinical and radiological results are presented with a 9-year follow-up. To our mind, in case of malignant bony tumours of proximal humerus with carcinologic cuff resection, the Grammont total shoulder arthroplasty is of interest and its proposal must be discussed.
