What does a trochanter do?
The trochanter is a bone feature of the tibia, it interacts with the femur. Its function is to aid in the stability of the knee joint.First there are two trochanters. most simply called the Greater(the larger of the two) Trochanter and the Lesser(smaller of the two) Trochanter. Most of the time the "bump" you feel on the outside of your hip/upper leg is the Greater Trochanter. As with most "bumps' on bones ,the trochanters serves as anchor attachments for the muscles in hip/leg/buttock area. Among those muscles that insert to the Greater trochanter are the the Gluteus Minimus. Gluteus Medius, and Prirformis among others. Hope this helps
The trochanter is process found on the?
there are 2 trochanters (greater and lesser) both are prominences found on the upper aspect of the femur (thigh bone) between the shaft and neck. Strong muscles attach here to move the leg in certain directions

Trochanter
What is a displaced fracture?
What is a nondisplaced fracture involving the greater tuberosity? nondisplaced fracture//the bone cracks with the broken peices still in alignment. Tuberosity//knoblike process. Process// prominant projection. There are many tuberosities on many of our bones. When you say greater, I assume it is in the femur, the "Greater Trochanter"? The femur has a gluteal tuberosity below the Greater Trochanter. Either way its a cracked bone where the tuberosity is or was.
What is found in the follow of a bone?
If you mean "hollow" of a bone... it would be marrow.
