With his brother Lewis, who died six years later, Reginald Hall Sayre became the trusted associate of his father, whose reputation was international and whose huge practice and spacious offices represented almost an institution. Beginning in 1885 as assistant to the chair of surgery at Bellevue Hospital Medical College, he afterwards became lecturer and orthopedic surgeon there, succeeded his father in 1898 as clinical professor of orthopedic surgery, and twelve years later became full professor.
A cosmopolitan in medicine, he was sought as consultant to numerous hospitals within and without New York City. For years he was the president of the American Orthopaedic Association in 1903-04, a charter member of the American College of Surgeons.
Though he wrote little after 1910, his earlier medical writings were significant. They included: The Treatment of Rotary Lateral Curvature of the Spine (1888), The Necessity for Thorough Examination in Suspected Pott's Disease (1893), and Posture in the Diagnosis of Disease (1897).
He found time to become champion pistol shot of America and captain of four Olympic pistol teams.
He died in 1929.

Sayre was a member of the New York Academy of Medicine for 42, a charter member of the American Orthopaedic Association.
He was also a life member of the New York Athletic Club.
Personally a conservative, Sayre possessed, like his more explosive father, remarkable latent force. Like his father, too, he had a delicious sense of humor and the power of vigorous, homely expressions.
Sayre never married.
