Bone scan is one: Option. It is a very sensitive test, especially if a 3 phase examination is performed with additional, higher resolution spect/ct imaging to allow comparison between the anatomy (ct) and the bone physiology (spect - a special way to perform nuclear scans, including bone scans). The radiation exposure of a bone scan is very low, with no side effects. Mri is also an excellent way to image this.

X-Ray first....: Before you go for more expensive imaging techniques, get a follow-up x-ray. That may tell you all you need to know.

Follow up needed: Yes, a bone scan or MRI would be appropriate if it has been 10 months since this injury.
