Core Tip	Essex-Lopresti injury is often overlooked in clinical settings, with a reported misdiagnosis rate as high as 60%. In pediatric cases, the misdiagnosis rate is even higher due to children's limited ability to articulate symptoms, the presence of substantial cartilaginous structures that have not fully ossified, and less typical radiographic findings compared to adults. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the injury mechanism, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of Essex-Lopresti injuries in children, emphasizing the importance for pediatric orthopedists to recognize and manage this condition accurately to prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
