Achilles tendon rupture - causes, symptoms and modern treatment approaches

An Achilles tendon rupture is one of the most common serious injuries to the lower extremities - especially in people aged between 30 and 50 who are active in sport. At the therapy centre at Zollikerberg Hospital, we support those affected from the acute phase through to a full return to everyday life and sport.


In this article, we explain how a tear can occur, how it can be recognised and what the current treatment and rehabilitation process looks like.

Gout: recognising, preventing and treating the causes

Gout is a metabolic disorder caused by too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is formed from purines, which are found in many foods and in all body cells. As a rule, purines are broken down into uric acid, 80 per cent of which is excreted via the kidneys and 20 per cent via the intestines. If less uric acid is released from the body, it is deposited in the form of crystals in joints and causes inflammation.
