The greater trochanter is the bony knob near the top of the thighbone (femur), where the upper thigh curves outward. The trochanteric bursa is located over this bony knob.
Each hip has two major bursae. The outside point of the hip, which is called the greater trochanter, has a bursa called the trochanteric bursa. (The other bursa, on the inside of the hip area, is called the iliopsoas bursa.) When that outside hip bursa gets inflamed, you have trochanteric bursitis.
The greater trochanter is located at the top of the thighbone (femur) and is the most prominent and widest part of the hip.
