Professor Richard Keen

I am a Rheumatologist with a specialist interest in osteoporosis, bone disorders, calcium metabolism and Paget’s disease.

I am Director of the Metabolic Bone Disease Unit at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, UK. I also hold a senior lecturer appointment at the Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Science, University College London, UK. I head a clinical research team and am currently an investigator on several research studies evaluating new treatments for osteoporosis, fracture healing and other metabolic bone disorders. I am the chief investigator for the ZODIAC Study, which is assessing the role for bisphosphonates in the management of bone loss following spinal cord injury. I also head the VIDEO Study, an arc funded clinical trial examining the effect of vitamin D supplementation on symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
