English term or phrase: innermost

I believe it refers to an anatomic term descriving one specific part (toe) of an animal (in this case a lizard):

The claw of most digits emerges from the anterior end of each digit except for the [innermost] (1st digit).

Thank you!

Explanation:
Aujoud'hui, il faudrait dire le plus médial

"On appelle pouce le doigt le plus interne ; il manque dans beaucoup d'espèces"

En anatomie, les structures sont souvent décrites en fonction de leur position par rapport à la ligne médiane du corps (axe médian) ; médial (ou interne) = proche de la ligne médiane - latéral (ou externe) = éloigné de la ligne médiane.
