Tibiae are supplied by a nutrient artery that enters individual bones obliquely through a nutrient foramen. The nutrient foramen of the tibia is the largest and is most often located on the posterior surface of proximal third the tibia. Methods: The present study was conducted on 48 (right 25and left 23) adult dry tibia. Number, direction and distribution of the nutrient foramina were observed by using a hand lens and a fine needle. Results: Most of the nutrient foramina are single, downward and present on posterior surface of tibia which almost coincide with studies. In 93.8% tibia shows single nutrient foramen and 6.2% tibia have double nutrient foramina and most of the nutrient foramina are downward 96.1%, only few foramina upward in direction 3.9%. Conclusions: The morphological knowledge about the nutrient foramen is essential to proceed bone grafting used for mandibular reconstruction and dental implants. The anatomical details about the nutrient foramen are required to the operating surgeon
