Grinding or crunching are common symptoms of cartilage problems. If the cartilage is damaged -- a condition called chondromalacia -- a crunching sensation is often felt by placing the hand over the kneecap and bending the knee. A similar grinding sensation may be felt with knee arthritis.
Don't get confused by the name. It was just the civil code that Napoleon Bonaparte established in France. What was significant about it was that it replaced the feudal system, the major governing system since the early medieval period, establishing a civil legal system. It also influenced other civil codes throughout Europe (even though it wasn't the first in Europe).
The codeâs influence is not limited to Louisiana. Legislators patterned the New York state civil and criminal codes, first completed in 1850, on the Code Napoleon. These codes served as models for similar codes in other states and in the federal government. The old common law was codified, placed in codes.
