A medical implant includes a body and an identification assembly. The body includes a first material that is biocompatible, an inner portion, and an external surface made form the first material. The external surface completely contains the interior portion of the body such that the external surface is the only portion of the body exposed to an external environment. The identification assembly is fixed relative to the body. The identification assembly includes a radiopaque material forming a datamatrix. The identification assembly stores a readable data associated with the medical implant. The identification assembly may transfer the readable data to a scanning system.
