German term

radial palmar

German to English Medical Medical (general) hand wound
I know this means relating to the outer side of the palm, but I'm not sure how to handle it as an adverb in English. Radiopalmarly? In a radiopalmar direction? At a radiopalmar angle [to the base of the thumb]?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, here's the context:

Nach den vorliegenden Fotos ist der Schraubendreher dabei tangential mit anzunehmender großer Kraft radial palmar an der Daumenbasis in die Weichteile eingedrungen

radial volar

e.g. "into the soft tissues along the radial volar aspect of the base of the thumb"

"Radial palmar" indicates the side or aspect of the bone/joint, rather than the direction, because the direction is "tangential" = parallel to the bone.

[NB: volar is more common than palmar in English]

As to injuries:

"Tangentially, at a radiopalmar angle", is not fallacious at all...
