title: [The ultrasonic flowmeter : its use to measure peripheral venous circulation].
abstract: Using an ultrasonic flow-meter, the author measured, in the internal saphenous vein, the speed of the venous blood in various functional instances of tibiotarsal articulation. He was able to establish the essential role of this articulation in starting up the venous return flow, whence he infers a prophylactic approach to venous thrombosis.
