What is the bigger trochanter?

Larger trochanter is an irregularly shaped bony feature at the top of the thigh bone. It is located just below and on the outside of the hip joint on the outer aspect of the femur, it is a rough and convex part of the bone, located along the thigh neck. The function of a larger trochanter is to act as a place of insertion for several rear hip muscles and instead of origin for the front thigh muscle, large lateralis. Acetabulofemoral joint. The protruding out and down from the head of the femur is the neck, which then curls down and slightly inwards to form the body of the femur. The larger trochanter occurs just next to the thigh neck towards the side and rear aspect of the bone, just behind the place where the femur leaves the hip joint. This can be considered raised, rough, diagonal surface that stretches up and out.

a large amount of muscles in the back hipIt attaches tendons to a larger trochanter. These include gluteals, piriformis, internus and gemelli, muscles that are collectively responsible for extending, kidnapping or lifting the foot to the side and turning the thigh in the hip. Gluteus medius and minimus, smaller gluteal muscles, which are located along the upper outer buttocks, are inserted along the superior or upper aspect of trochanter, while the tendon attached in front of Medius. Under the gluteals on the back of the hip is piriformis, which externally rotates and carries the thigh and which puts on the middle surface of trochanter, just inside the techyns gluteals.

under Piriformis are superior to GEMELLUS, obturator internus and lower gemellus, smaller muscles that rotate externally and kidnap the thigh. The gemelli muscles are attached to the horizontal tendons of the obturator from above and the like. This tendon is placed on the media aspect of a larger trochanter under observation of piriformis.

The last muscle that connects to a larger trochanter does not come from the back hip but from the front SIt is not inserted into trochanter, but rather comes here. It is based on the emphasized lower or lower boundary of trochanter is an expansion, an extensor of the knee joint. One of the four muscles of the quadriceps, crushing, comes from the tendon under those of the attached hip muscles and curves around the thigh bone to run down the front of the thigh.
