Abstract:
This paper presents a case of a massive giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), Campanacci and Enneking type III, in an atypical location at the proximal end of the radius. In type I and II cases, surgical treatment is the treat-ment of choice: curettage of the lesion, replacement of bone defects with bone grafts or cement. Advanced type III changes frequently require segmental resection and joint reconstruction. In our patient, a segmental resection of the proximal third of the radius and infiltrated surrounding soft tissues was performed without reconstruction of the radius. A good clinical outcome without a relapse has been noted at one year post surgery.

The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...
