The prosthesis stem and the prosthesis cup or the part of the body in which the prosthesis is provided can include markers that can be shown on an X-ray picture. The X-ray picture is downloaded in an image processing program having assistance lines for determining the position of the prosthesis components. The X-ray picture is downloaded automatically or manually in the image processing program. The assistance lines are brought into coincidence with the images of the markers on the X-ray picture. Thereafter a calculation unit in the image processing unit calculates the angles for the respective prosthesis components.
