X ray and CT scan
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
Well you could do a complete blood count to see any ongoing infection in the implant site.
As in your age group people usually dont respond to infections with fever.
X ray and CT scan will help to visualise if the implants are in place.
Hope this helps
