Abstract
A method for connecting an X-ray marker to a base body of an implant is provided. The based body includes a receptacle for receiving an X-ray marker. A flexible film and an X-ray marker are arranged so that at least a section of the film is located between the receptacle and the X-ray marker. The X-ray marker is pressed into the receptacle while interposing the film so that the X-ray marker is plastically deformed and, together with the film, is fixed in a force-fit manner in the receptacle. The film prevents contact between the X-ray marker and the base body.
