One of the more common types of bursitis (trochanteric bursitis) involves the bursa on the hip bone. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The trochanter is covered with cartilage, and a bursa (the trochanteric) is interposed between the tendon and the cartilage. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
In two cases of extensive comminution of the upper third of the femur that I saw, the fissures stopped short at the inter-trochanteric line anteriorly, but in one of them a large angular fragment was torn out of the posterior surface of the neck. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)
A characteristic gait marks inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, and as Gunther has put it, the subject generally moves or trots as does the dog -- the sound member being carried in advance of the affected one and the forward stride of the diseased leg is shortened. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
The fibers converge and pass backward, lateralward, and upward, and end in a tendon which runs across the back of the neck of the femur and lower part of the capsule of the hipjoint and is inserted into the trochanteric fossa of the femur. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The deep branch runs obliquely upward upon the tendon of the Obturator externus and in front of the Quadratus femoris toward the trochanteric fossa, where it anastomoses with twigs from the gluteal arteries. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The medial surface, of much less extent than the lateral, presents at its base a deep depression, the trochanteric fossa (digital fossa), for the insertion of the tendon of the Obturator externus, and above and in front of this an impression for the insertion of the Obsturator internus and Gemelli. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The posterior border is very prominent and appears as a free, rounded edge, which bounds the back part of the trochanteric fossa. ❋ Unknown (1918)
These bands leave the pelvis through the lesser sciatic foramen and unite into a single flattened tendon, which passes horizontally across the capsule of the hip-joint, and, after receiving the attachments of the Gemelli, is inserted into the forepart of the medial surface of the greater trochanter above the trochanteric fossa. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The broadening of the trochanteric region is greater, and the great trochanter is approximated to the acetabulum. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
On applying the various tests, the great trochanter is found to be displaced upwards, there is some antero-posterior broadening of the trochanteric region, and the ilio-tibial band is relaxed. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
When the femoral head penetrates into the pelvis -- the _central dislocation of the hip_ of German writers -- the condition simulates a fracture of the neck of the femur, but the trochanteric region is more depressed and the trochanter lies nearer the middle line. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
The thing is that I'm just recovering from trochanteric bursitis, an interesting diagnosis because I was running only 2 miles/day. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Two years later, BMD for total proximal femur, femoral neck and trochanteric regions of the proximal femur were measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). ❋ Helena Hallstrom (2010)
This procedure may be effective in removing fat from the neck, arms, flanks, abdomen, hips, trochanteric area ( "saddle bags"), thighs, knees, calves and ankles. it should be emphasized from the outset that the procedure has limitations in the amount of fat that can be removed and the amount of body sculpting that can be accomplished. ❋ Unknown (2010)
* The problem: Repetitive activities such as running and bicycling can lead to trochanteric bursitis, or inflammation around the outside part of the hip. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Greater trochanter: bilateral, posterior to the trochanteric prominence. ❋ Unknown (2008)
