Third trochanter was found to be present in 13.9% (10.9% in male and 3.0% in female) femora. Crista glutea was found present in 27.8%, with males showing a higher percentage. Frequency of various types of crista glutea and gluteal tuberosity showed dominance on right side in both sexes Incidence of third trochanter in Pakistanis (13.9%) was markedly less than Asians (50.00, more than Indians (5.691o) and almost close to Chinese (9.45%) Germans (l7. 94%) and French (18.3%)
