Which GB point lies on the lateral aspect of the hip joint, at the midpoint of a line drawn between the anterior superior iliac spine and the prominence of the greater trochanter?

• A. GB 29
• B. GB 28
• C. GB 27
• D. GB 26

Answer: (A)

GB 29 sits on the lateral aspect of the hip joint exactly at the midpoint of the line from the anterior superior iliac spine to the greater trochanter. This precise anatomical cue is what defines this point, so it matches the description in the question. It’s a standard hip-region point used for issues like hip joint pain and leg-related symptoms. The other nearby GB points lie in different positions around the groin or pelvis and do not occupy that midpoint between ASIS and the greater trochanter, so they don’t fit the given location.
