Thepopliteal space is again crossed to the circular turn below, andhere is made another circular turn which ascends toward theknee-joint by one-third of the width of the bandage. Theseturns are continued first above and then below the knee, theTipper ones gradually descending and the lower ones graduallyascending until the knee is entirely and securely Fig. 81.—^Figure-of-S bandage of the knee.

The initial extremity of thebandage is fixed by means of one or two circular turns whichinclude both thighs at a short distance from the roller is carried obliquely across both popliteal spaces to apoint about three inches below the knees, where a circular turnis made around both legs. The popliteal space is again obliquelycrossed by the roller and a circular turn is made around both thethighs, this turn overlapping the previous turn by two-thirds anddescending toward the knees by one-third of the width of thebandage. Again, the popliteal spaces are crossed to the turnbelow the knees and a second circular turn i
