Prebend
Definition:
(n.) A payment or stipend; esp., the stipend or maintenance granted to a prebendary out of the estate of a cathedral or collegiate church with which he is connected. See Note under Benefice.
(n.) A prebendary.
Example Sentences:
(1) Additionally, after applying small-fragment DC plates with varying angles of prebending and varying forces of prestressing on perpendicular shaft osteotomies, stability tests were carried out.
(2) But when they are applied to dual fractures of the hip and the middle portion of the shaft, certain techniques, like adequate distal fixation, the prebending of the plate, primary bone graft and mobilization of the non-weight bearing pattern should be strictly adhered to for assurance of early callus formation and prevention of implant failure.
(3) On the basis of theoretical considerations and extensive experiments, we found a distinct improvement in interfragmentary compression when the osteotomy-planes are set at an angle of 6 degrees open to the lateral side before external compression with 1000 N.
