The obturators have their origins on either sides of the obturator foramen and are inserted into the trochanteric fossa on the femur.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome can remain incorrectly diagnosed for years, because it shares the same pattern of pain with many other musculoskeletal conditions.
In these taxa, the trochanteric fossa is the insertion point for the puboischiofemoralis externus muscle.
In addition to vascular claudication, pseudo-trochanteric bursitis should be considered in the differential.
The trochanteric fossa is a deep depression bounded posteriorly by the intertrochanteric crest on medial surface of the greater trochanter.
The width and depth of the trochanteric fossa varies taxonomically.
Other causes of trochanteric bursitis include uneven leg length, iliotibial band syndrome, and weakness of the hip abductor muscles.
At the thirty-sixth gestational week, there was a signi®cant positive correlation between mean relaxin level and pain in the symphyseal and trochanteric region with onset during pregnancy.
