(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. In this way "functional plate-prebending" is achieved.
(4) Compression together with prebending, especially when using plates of adequate stiffness, can prevent bone resorption at the fragment surfaces even under immediate weight-bearing conditions in the sheep tibia.
(5) Furthermore it was found that the physiological antecurvature of the femur on the lateral view does not correspond with the prebending of the OA-nail.
(6) Preliminary tests suggest, that a combination of plate lag-screw and prebending offers stability up to high loads.
(7) The complications were: one postoperative infection, penetration of the nail through the femoral cortex in three femora before prebending of the nail became part of the procedure, and ectopic bone about the proximal end of the rod.
(8) The necessary prestress force, the angle of prebending and the resulting center of compression in the fracture site were experimentally examined.
(9) The highest level of stress was located near the holes, in the areas where prebending takes place.
(10) The effects of prebending and prestressing in compressional osteo-synthesis with application of the AO small-fragment DC plate on the bones of the forearm were examined.
(11) It revealed that the semirigid interconnecting line would not severely restrict the movement of the patient provided it has the proper prebend configuration.
(12) The stability of fixation can be increased through the use of compression combined with prebending.
(13) The present study in 19 sheep demonstrates the biological effects of 3 modes of plating fixation: (1) no compression; (2) compression; and (3) compression after prebending using 2 types of compression plates with different stiffness evaluated radiographically and histologically.
(14) Two measuring methods would be investigate by which the correlation between prestraining and prebending could be determined.

Example Sentences:
(1) He will be supported by The Dean of The Chapel Royal (The Right Reverend and Right Honourable Richard Chartres) and The Sub-Dean of the Chapel Royal (The Reverend Prebendary William Scott).
(2) Prebendary Neil Richardson Braintree, Essex • Radio 3’s audience “too narrow”?
