PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic inspection apparatus allowing a user to confirm that the ultrasonic wave is correctly irradiated to a site of fracture. SOLUTION: The ultrasonic inspection apparatus includes a transmission transducer which is installed on a body surface near the site of fracture and irradiates ultrasonic waves to the fracture site, a reception transducer which is installed on the body surface near the bone having the fracture site and receives the ultrasonic waves propagating through the bone, and a determination means which confirms that the transmission transducer irradiates the ultrasonic waves to the fracture site based on reception signals of the reception transducer propagating through a specific tissue.
