I am an adult reconstruction surgeon here at Duke. I completed graduate school and residency training at Wake Forest University, followed by a fellowship in adult reconstruction at Duke. My choice to pursue a career in adult reconstruction was based on my passion for patient outcomes. I was truly inspired by patients’ satisfaction and the drastic improvement on their quality of life after total joint replacement. I enjoy the systematic approach to problem solving and the complexity of cases in adult reconstruction, especially in the setting of revision arthroplasty. My clinical and research interests are centered around periprosthetic joint infections, a disastrous complication which continues to pose a challenge to the orthopaedic community. Despite the progress made, our goal to prevent infection following arthroplasty surgery remains unaccomplished. It is not an exaggeration to claim that fear of infection lives in the heart of every arthroplasty surgeon who steps into the operating room. My mission is to provide a personalized assessment and treat each patient individually, based upon their condition and needs. Dr. Seyler is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Pseudomonas Stutzeri Infections.

I am a fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement and reconstruction. My practice includes nonsurgical and surgical care for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (and other autoimmune arthritis), and avascular necrosis. I offer partial and total joint replacement, using minimally invasive techniques and cutting-edge methods such as robotic and computer navigation, 3D anatomical modeling, direct anterior total hip arthroplasty, and rapid postoperative recovery protocols with an option for outpatient surgery. My comprehensive approach includes medications, injections, physical therapy protocols, and other interventions aimed at avoiding surgery. I also evaluate and perform revision arthroplasty for failed joint replacements and specialized reconstructions for less common conditions.
