OBITUARIES

RE: The Passing of Emory Dalton McGlamry, DPM

 

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of E. Dalton McGlamry of Stone Mountain, Georgia at the age of 94 on June 14th. Dr. McGlamry was one of the greatest podiatrists of our generation. He leaves an enormous legacy of leadership, journalism, literature, and education unmatched in this profession. Among his many accomplishments were the founding of the Podiatry Institute and editing of McGlamry's Foot and Ankle Surgery Book (now in its 5th Edition) along with editorship of the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association.

 

Dr. E Dalton McGlamry

 

Dr. McGlamry served as President of the American Podiatric Medical Association and was the founder of podiatry's first 3-year podiatric surgical residency. He was inventor of many surgical instruments including the McGlamry elevator. Dr. McGlamry was the second podiatrist inducted into the PM Podiatry Hall of Fame and was recipient of the Golden Quill Award from the American Podiatric Medical Writers Association. We send our condolences to his wife Becky, their son Michael McGlamry, DPM, and the entire McGlamry family.
