title: [The puncture of the knee].
abstract: Knee puncture for arthrography via a lateral parapatellar approach is described. Direct puncture of the femorotibial space, via a ventral approach, is more painful and should only be used when the lateral parapatellar route is not possible, namely in case of complete suprapatellar plica.
