A hand is a prehensile , multi- fingered appendage located at the end of the forearm or forelimb of primates such as humans , chimpanzees , monkeys , and lemurs. A few other vertebrates such as the koala which has two opposable thumbs on each "hand" and fingerprints extremely similar to human fingerprints are often described as having "hands" instead of paws on their front limbs. The raccoon is usually described as having "hands" though opposable thumbs are lacking. The human hand normally has five digits: four fingers plus one thumb ; [3] [4] these are often referred to collectively as five fingers, however, whereby the thumb is included as one of the fingers.

Measurements of hand bones length have been shown to be sexually dimorphic in many nationalities. The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of sex determination from the length of all metacarpals and phalanges of right and left hands using X-ray radiographs and to develop a discriminant formula that can be used in the Egyptians. One hundred Egyptians are included in the study 50 adult males and 50 adult females in the period from December to January with mean age

To assess whether digital X-ray radiogrammetry DXR analysis of standard clinical hand or wrist radiographs obtained at emergency hospitals can predict hip fracture risk. A total of 45, radiographs depicting the left hand were gathered from three emergency hospitals in Stockholm, Sweden. Radiographs with insufficiently included metacarpal bone, fractures in measurement regions, foreign material or unacceptable positioning were manually excluded.
