Dorsoradial

/ˌdɔːsoʊˈreɪdiəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to both the back surface and the radius bone of the forearm at the same time.

Etymology

From Latin 'dorsum' (back) + 'radius' (the spoke-like forearm bone, also Latin for ray/spoke). Anatomical term for the forearm's dorsal-radial region.

Kelly Says

Your dorsoradial wrist has the most visible veins and tendons because it's where your radius bone creates a natural groove under the skin.
