RESUMO
The neurilemoma (benign schwannoma) is a benign tumor which arises from the Schwann cells of the peripheral nerves. In an intraosseous localization it is a very rare lesion, only forty cases being reported in the literature, and only two of these with the tumor located in the femur. This paper reports on a patient with a large neurilemoma in the lower part of the left femur.

Fifty-one knees with patellofemoral symptoms, but with normal conventional radiographs, were studied by CT-scan. All but five showed evidence of malalignment, and when operated on had an abnormality of the articular cartilage. The authors conclude that in many cases a CT-scan is the best diagnostic procedure for the evaluation of disorders of the patellofemoral joint.

The use of CO2 Laser in different surgical fields is presented. Different cutting powers for each tissue are shown as well. Advantages of the CO2 Laser such as less pain, haemorrhage, inflammation, fibrosis, edema. . ., have also assessed. According to its characteristics, we find it specially indicated in oncologic surgery, hemophilia and in highly vascularized tissues. It is also very useful when operating cavities with a difficult surgical approach, because of its reflective property.
