1. A joint implant device, comprising:
a socket that at least partially receives a first joint component;
a socket housing coupled with the socket;
a first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor each coupled with the socket housing and disposed between the socket and the socket housing, at least one of the first sensor, the second sensor, or the third sensor to detect a reaction force between the socket and the socket housing;
a socket extension coupled with the socket between the socket and the socket housing;
a socket housing extension coupled with the socket housing between the socket extension and the socket;
a fourth sensor coupled with the socket extension and disposed between the socket extension and the socket housing extension, the fourth sensor to detect a reaction force between the socket extension and the socket housing extension; and
at least three of the first sensor, the second sensor, the third sensor, or the fourth sensor to detect a force between the socket and the first joint component.
