X-ray clavicle (Initial): Overlapping fracture middle one third right clavicle. Case Photo #1
X-ray clavicle (at 10 months): Healing fracture with overlapping ends. [Photo2]
Ultrasound image showing long axis to inferior edge of clavicle using 12 Mhz linear probe [Photo3]. Shows scarring and enlargement of the medial and lateral pectoral nerve clavicular branches near fracture site, with pain to sono-palpation.
Ultrasound image showing long axis parallel to rib 1, transverse to brachial plexus trunks. Case Photo #4 . Shows normal omohyoid, subclavius muscle, 1st rib, subclavian artery, but large serratus anterior muscle. Prior clavicle fracture site seen with slight cortical irregularity and pain to sono-palpation.
