Explanation:
First of all, you might want to wait for Eytan on this one, he seems to be the authority on all things medical.

But I'll give it a shot. From my research:
"to treat the hip you will treat the right trochanter...percussion hammer, placed over the right trochanter...."
http://www.fisiokinesiterapia.biz/NewDownload/wrist.pdf

"Trochanteric braces ....placed over the outside hip area, at what is called the trochanter."
http://www.1backpain.com/sacroiliacjointdysfunctionandpain.h...

In some contexts HIP & TROCANTERIC are used interchangeably:
"Greater trochanteric bursitis, also called hip bursitis, is a common problem of pain and inflammation over the outside of the thigh area. Hip bursitis can cause"
http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/hipsurgery/a/hipbursitis.htm
http://www.physioroom.com/injuries/hip_and_thigh/trochanteri...

Just a possibility, but as you know, medicine is not my forte!
