Wedge shaped fracture fixation devices and methods for using the same

An implant device comprising:

• a body having a length extending between a proximal end and a distal end and being tapered along the length from the proximal end to the distal end, the body including:
• a plurality of faces extending along the length from the proximal end to the distal end;
• a first hole extending through one of the plurality of faces;
• and
• a plurality of columnar elements separating the plurality of faces from each other, each of the columnar elements having an exterior surface and an interior surface opposite the exterior surface, and a first columnar element of the plurality of columnar elements opposes the first hole,
• wherein the interior surface of the first columnar element includes adjacent walls defining an interior edge, and
• wherein a plane bisects the interior edge and the first hole.

A trimodal implant device comprising:

• a hollow body having a length extending between a proximal end and a distal end and being tapered along the length from the proximal end to the distal end, the body including:
• three faces along the length of the body;
• a plurality of rounded edges along the length of the body and separating the three faces from each other around a perimeter of the body;
• and
• a plurality of holes, each hole extending through a respective face, each of the holes extending through a thickness of the body and opposing an interior surface of a first rounded edge of the plurality of rounded edges,
• wherein portions of the length of the body from a proximal end of each of the holes to the proximal end of the body are substantially flat, and
• wherein an interior surface of the first rounded edge includes adjacent walls defining an interior edge, and wherein a plane bisects the interior edge and a hole of the plurality of holes opposing the interior edge.

• wherein portions of the length of the body from a proximal end of each of the holes to the proximal end of the body are substantially flat, and
• wherein each of the holes has a perimeter that tapers along the length of the body between a proximal arcuate shape adjacent to the proximal end of the body and a distal arcuate shape adjacent to the distal end of the body, the perimeter terminating at an interior surface of the body.
