Specialist treatment planning for osteoporosis and bone health
Professor Richard Keen provides specialist assessment and treatment planning for osteoporosis, fracture prevention, metabolic bone disease, rare bone disorders and long-term bone health.
Clear, evidence-led advice for patients who need to understand their diagnosis, reduce fracture risk and protect long-term mobility, confidence and independence.
The right treatment plan starts with understanding why bone health has changed, not just reading a scan result.
Bone health problems can involve several connected factors, including previous fractures, medication history, hormone changes, calcium and vitamin D levels, inflammatory disease, sporting load, surgical planning and family history.
These treatment areas are grouped around the way patients commonly need help - assessment, fracture prevention, complex metabolic bone conditions, lifestyle optimisation and specialist reporting.

Answers to common questions from patients considering a specialist appointment for osteoporosis, fracture risk, metabolic bone disease or long-term bone health.
Do I need a referral to see Professor Keen?
Many patients are referred by their GP, consultant or physiotherapist. If you are unsure whether a referral is needed, contact the practice and the team can advise.
Can Professor Keen review my bone density scan?
Yes. Bone density scan results are most useful when interpreted alongside your medical history, fracture history, medication use, blood tests and wider risk factors.
Are injection or infusion treatments available?
Some patients may be suitable for parenteral osteoporosis treatments, including injections or infusions. Suitability depends on diagnosis, fracture risk, previous treatment and medical history.
Can rare bone conditions be assessed?
Yes. Professor Keen has specialist experience in metabolic and rare bone disease, including complex cases that may require further investigation or long-term planning.
