Angus McBryde Jr., FACS, received his MD from Duke University in 1963. An internship (voted best intern) and junior assistant residency followed at the University of Pennsylvania. He served 2 years in the U.S. Navy, including a year in Vietnam. After a Duke Orthopaedic Residency, during which he chaired the AOA Residents Conference and coined the term “floating knee”, he practiced in Charlotte, North Carolina, from 1971 to 1991. During these years, he was Attending Physician for the orthopaedic residency program at Carolinas Medical Center. From 1977—1979, he was medical director of The North Carolina Orthopedic Hospital (NCOH) in Gastonia, North Carolina.
His interests are primarily competitive and recreational sports and fitness injuries. He has presented internationally and has numerous publications including peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and a history of NCOH, Instructional Course, and Academy DVD contributions. A lifetime fitness enthusiast, he has been an awardee at numerous marathons and road races.
