Pelvic Fracture Classification (Young-Burgess) — free guideline decision tool
This tool classifies pelvic fractures by the Young-Burgess system (APC/LC/VS/CM), which links injury mechanism to pelvic-ring stability and bleeding risk.

Common questions
What does Pelvic Fracture Classification (Young-Burgess) do?
Use in pelvic trauma to recognize the fracture pattern and anticipate hemorrhage — distinguishing mechanically stable patterns (LC-I, APC-I) from unstable ones that may need aggressive hemorrhage control.
How is the result calculated?
Mechanism-based pattern → stability + bleeding risk. APC-III, VS, and CM are completely unstable with the highest bleeding/transfusion need and mortality; LC-I and APC-I are mechanically stable.
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
