lesser trochanter

Here the two trochanters, greater and lesser trochanter, is found.

A bursa is often found between the front of this muscle and the lesser trochanter.

The inferior border, long and narrow, curves a little backward, to end at the lesser trochanter.

The lesser trochanter is a unique development of mammals, which lack both the internal and fourth trochanters.

'Left leg severed just proximal to the lesser trochanter.

The lesser trochanter is a cone-shaped extension of the lowest part of the femur neck.

The two muscles unite to form the iliopsoas muscle which is inserted on the lesser trochanter of the femur.

Its fibers are often inserted in front of those of the psoas major and extends distally over the lesser trochanter.

The lesser trochanter is markedly lower than the greater trochanter and separated from it by a narrow cleft.

In the remaining cases, it is either inserted into the upper part of the pectineal line or the posterior part of the lesser trochanter.

Also, like in other sauropods, bony processes of the femur were reduced in Isanosaurus; most notably, the lesser trochanter was lacking.

Residual femur on the right measures two inches below the lesser trochanter, and two and a half inches on the left, with saw marks visible.

The thigh bone had a lesser trochanter that was clearly lower than the greater trochanter; the fourth trochanter was well-developed.

Basal features, on the other hand, include the relatively short and slightly twisted humerus, as well as the retention of a lesser trochanter on the femur.

Subtrochanteric fracture actually involves the shaft of the femur immediately below the lesser trochanter and may extend down the shaft of the femur.

The iliacus originates on the iliac fossa to join psoas at the iliopubic eminence to form the iliopsoas which is inserted into the lesser trochanter.

Type 1 : Fracture line extends upwards and outwards from the lesser trochanter (STABLE)

The iliopectineal bursa passes across the front of the capsule of the hip joint and extends distally downwards almost as far as to the lesser trochanter.

The anterior dorsal hip muscles are the iliopsoas, a group of two or three muscles with a shared insertion on the lesser trochanter of the femur.

In the femur, the head is spherical and rotated anteriorly; the neck is elongated and oval in section and the lesser trochanter protrudes medially.

The dorsal hip muscles are either inserted into the region of the lesser trochanter (anterior or inner group) or the greater trochanter (posterior or outer group).

The psoas major unites with the iliacus at the level of the inguinal ligament and crosses the hip joint to insert on the lesser trochanter of the femur.

Calcar (Femorale) also refers to the dense, vertically orientated bone present in the posteroemedial region of the femoral shaft superior to the lesser trochanter of the femur.

Antero-medially and inferiorly to the AIIS is the iliopsoas groove, the passage for the iliopsoas muscle as it passes down to the lesser trochanter of the femur.

The iliopsoas consists of psoas major (and occasionally psoas minor) and iliacus, muscles with separate origins but a common insertion on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
