The Young–Burgess classification is a system of categorizing pelvic fractures based on the vector of applied force at the time of injury and degree of resulting disruption, allowing judgment on the stability of the pelvic ring and prediction of associated blood loss.[1]
Classificationedit
Anteroposterior Compression (APC)
Lateral Compression (LC)
Vertical Shear (VS)
Combined Mechanical Injury (CM)
Force directed front to back against the pelvic ring
Direct (or indirect via the proximal femur) lateral impact against the pelvic ring
Superior directed force to one side of the pelvis
Combination of other injury vectors (e.g. LC + VS)
