%X Introduction: STF is an important variation in the lower end of humerus which has been neglected because of paucity of literature. Aims: This study contributes in adding consistent data in anatomy and anthropology. Methods: 180 humeri of unknown sex and age were collected from Department of Anatomy, Mamatha Medical College, Khammam, Andhra pradesh. STF was measured using a vernier caliper. Results: The STF was seen in 23% of humeri, oval shape being more common and present more frequently on left side compared to right side humeri. Conclusion: The anatomical knowledge of STF is beneficial for anthropologists, orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists.
