Radius (bone) Radius (bone) The radius or radial bone is one of the two large bones of the forearm, the other being the ulna. It extends from the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist and runs parallel to the ulna. The radius is shorter and smaller than the ulna.

At the elbow, it joins with the capitulum of the humerus, and in a separate region, with the ulna at the radial notch. At the
Aneurysmal bone cyst for inactive lesions. The recurrence rate with curettage is significant in active lesions, and marginal resection has been advised. Liquid nitrogen, phenol, methyl methacrylate are considered for use to kill cells at margins of resected cyst. Recurrence rate of solid form of tumour is lower than classic form. It is common in age group of 10–30 years. It is second most common tumor of spine and commonest benign tumor of pelvis in pediatric population. Incidence is slightly more in males than females (1.3:1). Aneurysmal bone cyst Aneurysmal bone cyst, abbreviated ABC, is an osteolytic bone neoplasm characterized by several sponge-like
