Why X-Ray Finger AP/LAT is Needed
An X-Ray Finger AP/LAT is recommended when patients experience pain, swelling, stiffness, or have suffered a hand or finger injury. It plays a key role in diagnosing:
-
Finger fractures or broken bones
-
Joint dislocations or deformities
-
Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
-
Foreign bodies in the skin or tissue
-
Degenerative joint conditions like arthritis
This scan helps physicians decide on the best treatment approach, such as casting, surgery, or physiotherapy. Diagnopein in Karad ensures every X-ray is performed under expert supervision, guaranteeing patient comfort and safety.
