Trochanter
Definition:
(n.) One of two processes near the head of the femur, the outer being called the great trochanter, and the inner the small trochanter.
(n.) The third joint of the leg of an insect, or the second when the trochantine is united with the coxa.
Example Sentences:

(2) Whereas all extant vertical clingers and leapers share certain femoral traits (i.e., long femur, proximally restricted trochanters, ventrally raised patellar articular surface), Galagidae and Tarsiidae share features of the proximal femur (i.e., cylindrical head, large posterior expansion of articular surface onto the neck) that clearly distinguish them from the specialized leapers of the Malagasy Republic (Indriidae and Lepilemur).
(3) In five of the six cases a violent contusion in the trochanter region was involved as a result of a fall on a hard surface or a traffic accident.
