This study focuses on anatomical variation of the thoracic spinal pedicle in adult Thai patients. The pedicle is a critical structure for transpedicular screw fixation, a common surgical technique used to treat spine conditions such as vertebral fractures, spinal stenosis, unstable spine injuries and spinal deformities including scoliosis and kyphosis. Incorrect understanding of pedicle dimensions can lead to screw misplacement and risk of neurological injury. This study aims to address the lack
