I was asked by a Create A Coder group member this question about a CCO practice exam. I just took the practice exam from CCO and one of the questions asks the location of the Radius. All my sources list this as the outer bone of the lower forearm, but they have it listed as the inner! This question is too easy to get wrong on the exam! Since you’re taking an anatomy course, I thought you might give me some insight! What do you think? Is it an error, or am I mistaken and it is labeled as the inner bone? Ugh! My test is Saturday and I’m stressing!
I want to give the correct answer so here I am getting one from the experts because even Google had me confused lol.

Actually it should not be a good idea to say inner or outer d/t the way the arm is held. The way it is normally stated is that the radius runs off the thumb side. Also note it is the larger of the two bones in the lower arm.
