Definitions
For this text, the hand will be defined as beginning at the carpometacarpal joint
In anatomic position, hand is in supination
Thumb points away from body, palm faces forward
Radial: Toward radius and synonymous with lateral(ly)
Ulnar: Toward ulna and synonymous with medial(ly)
Mesial: Toward midline of structure
In the hand, for example, 3rd digit is more mesial than 2nd and 4th digits, which are more mesial than 1st and 5th digits
