What is a surface landmark on the hand?

If you pronate your hand from anatomical position, you can see metacarpals one through five. the Trapezium is proximal to the first metacarpal as is the trapezoid to the second. The capitate is the most medial of the carpals and the largest. The hamate is proximal to the fourth and fifth metacarpals and lateral to the capitate. But if you supinate your hand back to anatomical position the hamate is more medial. Hint: the first metacarpal is in reference to the thumb.
