Abstract :Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare measurements of the wrist, hand and finger parameters between female and male. Methods: This randomized trial included 318  healthy participants  (n:210 female, n:108 male) aged 25 to 72 years as a result of examination participated in the study. Tape measure, digital caliper with 0.01 sensitivity used in the study were obtained at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü Imam University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anatomy. The measurements taken from the  participants were right and left wristh circumference, breadth and  length, palm breadth, length and fingers length. Result: Regarding the scores between female and male, no statistically significant difference was found between the female and male in terms of age and body mass index (BMI) parameters (p>0.05). In the comparison analysis results of the measurements of wrist, hand and finger parameters in female and male, statistically significant difference was found in wrist circumference, breadth, length, palm breadth and length, fingers length. The points of all parameters of female were significantly lower than male (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result of the study, statistically significant difference was found between female and male in terms of right and left wrist, hand and finger parameters.
