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 glurea and gluteal tuberosity showed dominance on right side ¡n both sexes. Incidence of third trochanter in Pakistanis (13.9%) was markedly less than Asians (50.0 %,), more than Indians (5.6%) and almost close to Chinese (9.45%), Germans (17.94 %,) and French (18.3%). ER -
