You should always place your marker on the Lateral aspect of the extremity. This way you'll always know whether you've done an AP or PA view.

If your talking anatomical position, then the thumb would be lateral and the 5th digit would be medial.

I always mark the lateral side of all extremities so I know which way to hang it.
