The cited source (slides PDF) does not refer to the trochanter's role in running, only to "trochanter length" = leg length measured from trochanter to sole. --125.2.84.109 (talk) 19:47, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
I do not have the required medical knowledge but it seems to me that the sentence "humans are known to have three trochanters, though the anatomic "normal" includes only the greater and lesser trochanters. (The third trochanter is not present in all specimens.)" is ambiguous or could be phrased in a better way. First it states that "humans are known to have three trochanters..." which doesn't seem to be very accurate. Could it better to say that the number of trochanters in humans could is either two or three, depending on the genetic history? Also, is mentions "the anatomic "normal"" is which is technically ambiguous and somewhat discriminatory, by stating that those with three are abnormal, which implies a judgement. This is the impression I got after reading the article. Guilherme Moura Paredes (talk) 13:44, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
