An Essex-Lopresti injury is a fracture of the radial head with concomitant dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint and rupture of the interosseous membrane. Poor outcomes have been associated with this rare injury if the dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint is missed in the acute setting. This injury is named after the British orthopedic surgeon Peter Essex-Lopresti, who made a number of important observations about this injury in 1951. Peter Essex-Lopresti was a promising young surgeon, and his untimely death at the age of 35 brought an early end to a remarkable career. This article investigates the evolution of treatment for this injury and sheds light on the life of the surgeon for whom the injury is named.
埃塞克斯-洛普雷斯蒂损伤是一种桡骨头骨折,同时伴有下尺桡关节脱位和骨间膜破裂。如果在急性期漏诊下尺桡关节脱位,这种罕见损伤的预后往往较差。该损伤以英国骨科医生彼得·埃塞克斯-洛普雷斯蒂的名字命名,他在1951年对这种损伤进行了一些重要观察。彼得·埃塞克斯-洛普雷斯蒂是一位前途光明的年轻外科医生,他35岁时英年早逝,辉煌的职业生涯就此过早结束。本文探讨了这种损伤治疗方法的演变,并介绍了以其名字命名该损伤的外科医生的生平。
