What projection would be acquired for a lateral 2nd digit of the toe?

lateromedial
plantodorsal
AP
mediolateral


lateromedial

Rationale: The lateral position requires the part to be rotated either lateral or medial; whichever way will place the affected digit parallel and closest to the image receptor. Fingers and toes reference the surfaces according to anatomical position. The second digit will rotate the entire foot medially and the projection through the part is lateromedial.
