The goal of our study was to verify the frequency of injuries to the bones of the locomotor apparatus in a population group buried on the territory of the castle of the Great Moravian power centre at Mikulčice. The method of evaluation is based on the method of five segments, but we took the diaphyses of long bones to be a single segment. In group of juvenile individuals no fracture was recorded on the studied bones. Adults represented a total of 531 individuals. In the whole group, a total of 59 fractures were recorded. There were 42 individuals with fractures - individuals with fractures represented 7.91 % of the population. The difference in the frequency of fractures between males and females was significant at the 1 % level of significance. The frequency of fractures of the clavicle was statistically significantly higher compared to the other bones only in the case of the least affected femur and tibia.
