The present invention relates to a device and use of the device for detection and loosening of implants installed into a subject's host bone, the device comprising: a frame for encircling and demountably engaging a portion of the subject's appendage comprising the host bone with installed implant； and at least three-spaced apart attachments engaged with the frame, wherein each attachment is configured to house and to retractably deploy a sharp geometry component for contacting the host bone, wherein a temporary reference frame is created when the three-spaced apart attachments contact the host bone. The use of the device comprises obtaining a first pair of stereo radiographs of the implant under a first loading condition and obtaining a second pair of stereo radiographs of the implant and host bone area under the second loading condition and comparing the two radiographs to detect displacement of the implant.
