Forty‐one cases of clavicle fracture in newborn babies were examined by both radiographic and ultrasonic methods. No substantial difference has been found between these two modalities. It is suggested that ultrasound should be the procedure of choice in the diagnosis of clavicle fracture. This is especially true in those cases where impaired movement of the arm is the only clinical sign.
