At the lateral end of the neck there are two bony humps, so-called rolling hills. The large trochanter (trochanter major) is located ventrally. It forms a starting point for the gluteal muscles. The dorsal small trochanter (trochanter minor) also serves as a starting point for various thigh muscles. Another starting point for the muscles is a depression (trochanteric fossa) between the neck and the large trochanteric mound as well as the connections between the two trochanteric mounds. Ventrally, the two mounds are connected via the Linea intertrochanterica and dorsally via the Crista intertrochanterica.
