Once you see the Orthopaedic surgeon he will be able to assist you with the required x-ray. Most of the time it is finger AP and LAT.

What type of X-ray/imaging study is required for proper diagnosis of your condition can be determined only after proper clinical examination. Usually both AP and lateral views are required
It is recommended that you get the clinical examination done prior to getting any investigation done
