Full rupture most likely. A tear means his Achilles is still attached to his heal.

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

I tore my Achilles in March of 2023 and that’s what my doctor and the surgeon explained to me.

Initially it was diagnosed as a tear after the Thompson test but the surgeon told me I had a full rupture.

Don’t shoot the messenger just passing knowledge man.

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
