ABSTRACT
The author explains how to use an accessory allowing axial patella roentgenography without patient helping with different angulations: 30 degrees, 60 degrees and 90 degrees. Radiographs are realised with low rate contraction of quadriceps and immobilisation, with two femoro-patella joints on the same view with simple table and moving X-ray tube.

Popliteal phlebography by puncture of the popliteal vein anables direct opacification to be obtained of the deep venous trunks of the knee and the thigh. This simple technique can be used for precise evaluation of valvular incompetence. Normal and pathological findings after 50 popliteal phlebographies are described.
