title: [37-year survival of a patient with osteosarcoma of the proximal tibia after biological resection according to Grucy].
abstract: A case of patient with osteosarcoma of the tibia resected by the Gruca method who survived 37 years is presented. In spite of the neoplastic recurrence (resected anatomically), long-lasting osteomyelitis, pathological fracture and increasing stiffness of the knee joint the patient has managed to carry out his life plans. This proves the Gruca method to be valuable although being presently replaced by polyvalent chemotherapy.
