Peter Gordon Lawrence Essex-Lopresti was a British orthopaedic surgeon, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, who lived from 1916 until his death on 13 June 1951. He is remembered for describing the injury that now carries his name, the Essex-Lopresti fracture, and for his work on the classification and treatment of fractures of the calcaneus, the heel bone. His name survives in fracture teaching today as a result of those two contributions, made during a career that ended when he was in his mid thirties.
