I also didn’t know this was the meaning of the word ‘brace’. In Spanish spoken countries, we named it as corsé, having a different meaning.
And certainly the definition I have always saw about orthopedics braces used in scoliosis, were even much more different, referring to external forces and at least some important authors as Rigo did in his book, referred as the 3 pressure points as a requirement for every brace. Certainly she mentioned all kind of braces up to the edition date and he also mentioned the Spinecor, but with the explicit clarification that is not a brace because not compliance the definition.

I’m not sure if that hypocrite name to define extremely invasive surgeries with minimal incisions is used in every kind of surgery or at least in every country. I know that at least in mine in urology, surgeons talk about surgeries at ‘open sky’ and other term I’m not remembering now for those with minimal incision. Surely they cannot dare to say to someone that they will remove some organs with a minimal invasive surgery.

words to refer something that has nothing to do with them. Surely they defined the meaning of surgery, but ‘minimal’ and ‘invasive’ has their own common meaning since before the first surgeon’s birth in the earth.
Of course it could lead to serious confusions in people without knowledge about surgeon’s vocabulary and they have not to have it. In other forum I had to give the bad new to some happy parents about the absurd fact that the minimal invasive surgery that they were talking about was a fusion surgery!.
