1. A system for monitoring an implantable device, the system comprising:
a measurement device positioned within a joint, the measurement device configured to generate measurement data and detect impingement as the joint is moved through a set of predetermined motions; and
a computer configured to wirelessly communicate with the measurement device, the computer configured to process the measurement data and display the measurement data and impingement detection on a graphical user interface (GUI),
wherein the displayed data provides real-time information regarding motion of the implantable device and load on the implantable device, and
wherein the GUI includes a depiction of a range of motion including a maximum internal rotation or a maximum external rotation of the joint.
