Generally as long as there's no pain after 6 weeks in the brace and then PT after that there wouldn't be any follow up imaging unless the pain continued.

If there was a need for imaging then CT is usually the way to go. The key with CT is to only cover the area in question so as to minimize the radiation.

You might want to talk to your doctor about Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound. Some doctors will recommend it. Insurance won't cover it so you have to get the units on ebay. They'll cost from $200 to $400 on ebay.
