A component for an arrangement at an implant includes a sensor detecting a measurement variable and generating measuring data corresponding to the detected measurement variable; telemetry device transmitting data; a data transmission connection between the sensor and the telemetry device for the transmission of the measuring data therebetween; and an assembly arrangement detachably mounting the component in an implant recess of the implant wherein the component is configured to be insertable through an implant recess of an implant positioned over a target portion of a bone so that the component extends through the opening toward an outer periphery of the target portion of the bone.

Component and method for assembling an implant arrangement

The invention refers to a component for arrangement at an implant as well as a method for the assembling of an implant arrangement. The component comprises a basic component, at least one sensor arranged in the basic component for the detection of a measurement variable and for the generation of measuring data for the detected measurement variable, a telemetry device arranged in the basic component for transmitting and receiving data and a data transmission connection between the at least one sensor device and the telemetry device for the transmission of data between the at least one sensor device and the telemetry device, whereby the data comprise the measuring data. At the basic component, assembly means for mounting the basic component in an implant recess are formed.
