AIS – adolescent idiopathic scoliosis; CS – congenital scoliosis; NMS – neuromuscular scoliosis; NFS – neurofibromatosis scoliosis; SS – syndromic scoliosis; ADS – adult degenerative scoliosis.
* As some patients have 2 or more types of stenosis, the rate of “any stenosis” is not the sum of other types.
