Zusammenfassung:	There is described a device for attaching an element to a human or animal body, comprising: an implant pin (10) which is to be implanted in (a bone portion of) that body and which is hollow through a part of its length; and a support member (20) to be attached to that implant pin. Conventionally, attachment of the support member to an implant pin takes place by means of screw thread and/or through glueing. According to the invention, the drawbacks inherent thereto are removed by using a force fit. In one embodiment, the implant pin comprises a clamping bush (70) pressed into a bore (60) in the implant pin, and the support member (20) has a coupling post (21) which clampingly fits in the clamping bush, the clamping bush comprising resilient clamping means (80).
