Different people have different sized hands, so the hand is not that precise a measuring tool. On my own hand, my middle finger is three inches long (almost exactly) and so each of the three segments created by the two knuckle joints is actually an inch long. Your hand, however, may not be the same size as mine.
Each person's hand will measure a different length. But there is a measurement in horsemanship called a hand, which is equal to 4 inches. It's closer to the width of a human hand, rather than length of a hand. Usually it is seen when specifying how tall a horse is.
