| gluteal tuberosity | The point of insertion on the upper portion of the shaft of the femur of the greater part of the gluteus maximus muscle; when markedly developed this tuberosity is called the third trochanter. Synonym: trochanter tertius, tuberositas glutea, crista glutea, gluteal crest, gluteal ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater tuberosity of humerus | greater tubercle of humerus |
| coracoid tuberosity | The conoid tubercle and trapezoid line of the coracoid process of the scapula, giving attachment to the two parts of the coracoclavicular ligament: the conoid and trapezoid ligaments. Synonym: tuberositas coracoidea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal tuberosity | <anatomy> An irregular pitted area on the inferior surface of the clavicle at its sternal end, giving attachment to the costoclavicular ligament. Synonym: impressio ligamenti costoclavicularis, costal tuberosity, rhomboid impression, tuberositas costalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sacral tuberosity | A rough prominence on the lateral surface of the sacrum posterior to the auricular surface for attachment of posterior sacroiliac ligaments. Synonym: tuberositas sacralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scaphoid tuberosity | A rounded eminence on the medial surface of the navicular bone, giving attachment to a part of the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle. Synonym: tuberositas ossis navicularis, scaphoid tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ischial tuberosity | The rough bony projection at the junction of the lower end of the body of the ischium and its ramus; this is a weight-bearing point in the sitting position; provides attachment for the sacrotuberous ligament and is the site of origin of the hamstring muscles. Synonym: tuber ischiadicum, tuber of ischium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tibial tuberosity | An oval elevation on the anterior surface of the tibia about 3 cm distal to the articular surface, giving attachment at its distal part to the patellar ligament. Synonym: tuberositas tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
