An X-Ray Middle Finger (AP + LAT) is a diagnostic imaging test used to examine the middle finger (usually of one hand) from two different views:

• AP (Anteroposterior) view – taken from front to back of the finger
• LAT (Lateral) view – taken from the side of the finger

These views help provide a clear picture of the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the middle finger. It is commonly done to detect:

• Fractures or dislocations
• Joint inflammation or arthritis
• Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
• Foreign objects
• Tumors or bone cysts
