Introduction: Dorsalis pedis artery is the chief artery of the dorsum of foot and is the artery of choice for grafting in vascular surgery of ischemic lower limbs in diabetic patients. Material & Methods: Dorsalis pedis artery was dissected and traced during routine cadaveric dissection in 41 foots. Observation & Results: We observed origin of dorsalis pedis artery from peroneal artery in 2.44% cases. Five branches from dorsalis pedis artery were observed in 2.44% and 6 branches in 2.44% cases.
