How to identify a compromised implant?
I have a parylene coated cylindrical magnet in my left ring finger.
Yesterday whilst loading a steel scuba cylinder (weight ~60lbs/~30kg) in my car it fell on said finger not from very high but enough to be very painful. The finger tip is very still bruised and was quite swollen for several hours. It is also painful and slightly numb in spots.. all things one could reasonably expect from dropping a 60lb steel object on ones finger regardless of an implant.
There's no black spots nor any obvious damage that can I can feel through the skin.
The magnet seems to be fine...

What signs would I see if the magnet had been compromised?
What should I look out for?
