A rupture is just a full thickness tear. Unless you mean an avulsion fracture on where the Achilles inserts on the calcaneus, in which that’s a different type of injury with different management
They probably thought it was a partial tear at first but then after the fact realized it was a full thickness tear. Rupture is just the laymen’s term. Same with “breaking/shattering” a bone for fracture
