What bones have trochanters?
The trochanter is part of the femur (thigh bone) that is connected to the hip bone in a human. It can refer to the greater trochanter, the lesser trochanter or the third trochanter.

How do you avoid cutting off the symphysis pubis in a KUB?
One of the two following methods will work: (1) Place side of your hand on patient's abdomen, superior to the symphysis pubis. Then while pressing, slide hand inferiorly until the symphysis pubis is palpated. Ensure light field covers this area of the symphysis pubis. (2) Palpate for the greater trochanters in the femur. Ensure the light field covers this area or at least the area of the abdomen that reaches to this level of the greater trochanters.
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
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
What bone is fractured when you have a fractured hip?
A hip fracture generally refers to the fracture of the head or neck of the femur (thigh) bone. There are several different areas that can suffer a fracture and still be called a hip fracture. For example, a fracture to the greater or lesser trochanters of the femur are also commonly called hip fractures by the general public.
