Trochanter

The bed is a mat made of rushes sewn together with twine; the hip-bone soon becomes sore on the hard flat surface, as we are not allowed to make a hole in the floor to receive the prominent part called trochanter by anatomists, as we do when sleeping on grass or sand. ❋ Unknown (2004)

Everyone knows the greater trochanter is on the lateral edge of the humerus, rather than the medial. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Tainotherium differs from other West Indian species in possessing a large femoral head, a proximally angled femoral neck, a short greater trochanter and a medially positioned lesser trochanter unconnected by an intertrochanteric crest, and a transversely flattened, anteroposteriorly bowed shaft lacking well-defined ridges. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Fracture of the trochanter major is signalized by local swelling and evidence of pain; the forward stride is shortened because this movement tenses the tendon of the gluteus major (maximus) which is attached principally to the trochanter. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

While standing the affected limb hung directly across and in front of the opposite one; upper trochanter very prominent; skin over hip joint very tense. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Feet: the legs or organs of locomotion; one pair attached to each thoracic segment; composed of coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia and tarsus only; plural of foot; q.v. Female: designated by "O+" the astronomical sign for Venus: that sex in which the ova are developed. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Tapley [39] reports in the Veterinary Journal (English) fracture of the head and internal trochanter of the femur and patellar luxation occurring simultaneously affecting a mule. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Apophysis: the lower of the two joints of trochanter in ditrocha trochanterellus; the dorso-lateral metathoracic spines in ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

We took _locusts_ and _grilli_; we held them by their wings, and we presented them _with their own legs_ for dinner; and on our veracity we can affirm, that on no single occasion did the animal fail to seize his foot; and having demolished the toes and the tibia, with all the meat upon it, proceed to demolish up to the very end of the _trochanter_! ❋ Various (N/A)

The larger tendon inserts to the summit of the trochanter major of the femur and corresponds to the biceps brachii in the action of the latter on the scapulohumeral joint, except that the gluteus medius, in attaching to the femoral trochanter, exerts its effect as a lever of the first class. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Fulcrant: the trochanter when continued along the femur, as in ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

The internal trochanter was also fractured in four small pieces. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

The glutens medius (g. maximus) muscle is inserted chiefly by means of two tendons; one to the summit of the trochanter major of the femur and the other passing over the anterior part of the convexity of the trochanter, and being attached to the crest below it. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Monotrocha - ous: Hymenoptera in which the trochanters are single: having legs in which the trochanter is one-jointed. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

In some chronic cases crepitation is discernible by holding the hand on the trochanter while the subject walks. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Femur - ora: the thigh: usually the stoutest segment of the leg, articulated to the body through trochanter and coxa and bearing the tibia at its distal end: in Coccidae and quite commonly, the femur and trochanter are considered as one, for measuring purposes. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Varon Dn. Cristobal Colon, 'and in the said box human remains which on examination by the licentiate of equal class Jose de Jesus Brenes are found to be: A femur deteriorated in the upper part of the neck, between the great trochanter and its head. ❋ Otto Schoenrich (N/A)

This variation of position causes abnormal tenseness or looseness of the skin over the region of the trochanter major. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Ditrocha: Hymenoptera; that series having the trochanter two-jointed. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

The trochanter is covered with cartilage, and a bursa (the trochanteric) is interposed between the tendon and the cartilage. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
