title: [Inter-relation of rheumatology and phlebology. Introduction].
abstract: After touching on some general ideas about rheumatics, the author concentrates on this question: Is there a connection between arthritis and chronic venous insufficiency? The author mentions the work done in this field by the French, and particularly by the school of Toulouse, and then he turns to a consideration of arthritis in general, concentrating especially on arthritis of the hips and knees; in conclusion: Arthritis is primarily a mechanical disorder and venous insufficiency plays only a contingent role; Krieg's phlebarthritic complexus is a pure coincidence!
