Dorsalis pedis flap (DPF) is widely used for reconstructive surgery of surface defects in the body. However, studies of the anatomy of this flap are still not interested. Aims of study was to learn the characteristics of vascular anatomy of DPF in Vietnamese population and review the surgical characteristics of vascular anatomy of DPF in practice. The results show that in all of the specimens, the origin of the dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) is anterior tibia artery. The mean length of DPA is 7.2 + or - 0.83 cm and the mean diameter of DPA is 3 + or - 0.6 mm, The mean diameter at the end of the DPA is 2.33 + or - 0.35 mm. In conclusion, the vascular artery of the flap is almost consistently, Therefore, it is very convenient to using the central dorsalis pedis flap, Considering to using peripheral reverse pedicled flap due to the anatomy variations as well as end collateral of dorsalis pedis vessels.
