Abstract
<p><em>The anterior tibial artery terminated into medial tarsal and lateral tarsal branches. Dorsalis pedis artery was very thin arising as a branch from medial tarsal artery. The first and second dorsal metatarsal arteries were seen arising from lateral tarsal artery. Arcuate artery was absent. Knowledge of vascular anatomy of foot is essential for arterial reconstruction flap surgeries of the foot. This can avoid amputation of foot in cases of arterial trauma like thromboangitis obliterans, industrial automobile accidents, diabetes and severe ischaemia of lower limb. </em></p> <p><em> </em></p>
