Rib plate and rib plate system

A monolithic rib plate, comprising:

• multiple first screw orifices located substantially along a first line and connected by first bridges;
• multiple second screw orifices located laterally on one side of the first line and connected by second bridges, wherein one or more of the second bridges have a smaller cross-section than the first bridges;
• and
• third bridges, each connecting one of the second screw orifices with one of the first screw orifices,
• wherein at least one of the second screw orifices is connected to one of the first screw orifices by one of the third bridges and to another of the first screw orifices by another of the third bridges.

• multiple second screw orifices located laterally on one side of the first line and connected by second bridges, wherein one or more of the second bridges have a smaller cross-section than the first bridges;
• and
• third bridges, each connecting one of the second screw orifices with one of the first screw orifices,
• wherein a greatest distance between two of the third bridges connecting one of the first screw orifices with its closest two second screw orifices is equal to or less than a shortest distance between the one first screw orifice and the second bridge connecting the closest two second screw orifices.

• third bridges, each connecting one of the second screw orifices with one of the first screw orifices,
• wherein a free space at least partially enclosed by one second bridge and two third bridges extends a distance in a direction of the first line equal to or less than a distance in a direction orthogonal to the first line.
