The method and system disclosed herein provide an implant health monitoring approach in which by processing an X-ray image received as input, a system identifies location of an implant in body of a subject, and identifies manufacturer and subtype details of the implant. Further, an implant size and implant fixation details are determined. Further, anomaly detection is performed to determine presence of one or more anomalies in the implant, based on the determined manufacturer and subtype details, the determined location of the implant, a determined region around the implant, the implant fixation details, and the implant size information, and accordingly the implant is classified as one of Faulty, Healthy, and Probable faulty."
