The word tort comes from le Latin term torquere, which means "twisted or wrong. "The English common law recognized no separate legal action in tort. Instead, the British legal system afforded litigants two central avenues of redress : trespass for direct injuries, and actions "on the case" for indirect injuries. Gradually, the common law recognized other civil actions, including defamation, libel, and slander. 2, record 4, English, - action%20in%20tort

That the knee can attain any degree of stability in extension, and indeed is not even more vulnerable, is due to the all-important quadriceps and to the complex action which differentiates the joint from a simple hinge-namely, the screw-home movement. This is the mechanism whereby, at the completion of extension, the tibia rotates laterally by the indirect action of the quadriceps, guided in its course by the anterior cruciate ligament and the form of the articular surfaces. The screw-home movement is an important feature of the knee-joint mechanism not only because it determines the stability of the joint in extension but because disorders of its complex action are responsible for most of the common internal derangements of the knee. 2, record 5, English, - screw%20home%20motion
