Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A trochanter roll is a rolled up towel or blanket placed parallel to the client's hip and used to prevent external rotation of the hip or leg. It is commonly used to maintain proper alignment and prevent dislocation after hip replacement surgery or to help alleviate pain and discomfort caused by hip fractures or arthritis. It does not keep the shoulder in alignment, prevent foot contracture, or keep the injured leg abducted.
