In mammals including humans the medial surface of the greater trochanter has at its base a deep depression bounded posteriorly by the intertrochanteric crest called the trochanteric fossa. This fossa is the point of insertion of four muscles. Moving from the inferior-most to the superior-most they are: the tendon of the obturator externus muscle the obturator internus the superior gemellus and inferior gemellus.
