Claim:
1. A trimodal implant device comprising a body having a length extending between a proximal end and a distal point, being tapered along the length from the proximal end to the distal point, and defining a longitudinal axis, the body including: three faces extending along the length from the proximal end to the distal point; a plurality of cut-outs, each of the cut-outs extending through one of the three faces, each of the cut-outs further having a perimeter that tapers along the length between a proximal arcuate shape adjacent to the proximal end and a distal arcuate shape adjacent to the distal point, the proximal arcuate shape having a larger radius than the distal arcuate shape; a plurality of columnar elements separating each of the three faces from one another, each of the columnar elements having an exterior surface, having an interior surface opposite the exterior surface and opposing one of the cut-outs, and spanning from at least the proximal arcuate shape to the distal arcuate shape; and at least one thread originating at the distal point and spiraling around the body along the length thereof, wherein the tapering perimeter of each of the cut-outs extends through the respective face such that the respective cut-out terminates at an interior surface of the body, wherein the interior surface of at least a first columnar element of the plurality of the columnar elements includes adjacent walls defining a respective interior edge, and wherein a plane bisects the first columnar element and the respective cut-out opposing the interior surface of the first columnar element through the respective interior edge.
