Introduction The wrist is the link between the forearm and the hand. Normal morphometry and disorders of the wrist may be evaluated by imaging, although it is difficult and lifelong pursuit to understand the wrist secondary to its complex anatomic and biomechanical intricacies and its abundant pathology. The most simple and cheapest imaging modality is by using röntgen. Objective To find out whether there is significant difference of the radiolunate angle, scapholunate angle, capitolunate angle, triangulation method, carpal height ratio, and revised carpal height ratio between the population in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital to the literature; and to find out whether there is relationship between body height and those parameters. Patients and Method The data were taken from the population in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in October 2011 which fulfill the inclusion criteria and had wrist radiograph in lateral and posteroanterior projection. Thereafter, the radiolunate angle, scapholunate angle, capitolunate angle, triangulation method, carpal height ratio, and revised carpal height ratio from the population were measured. The results were compared to the value in the literature, between dominant and non-dominant hand, and between male and female. Result There is significant difference between Indonesia population in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta to the literature in radiolunate angle, scapholunate angle, triangulation method, carpal height ratio, and revised carpal height ratio. In Indonesian population itself, there is significant difference between dominant and non dominant hand in triangulation method; between male and female in carpal height ratio; and there is no relationship between body height and carpals radiological morphometry. Discussion Parameter differences between Indonesia population to the literature and in Indonesian population itself may be due to many factors such as race, and non-standard wrist position due to no stabilization device.
