Non-surgical is used predominantly now in Calgary if the tendon did not receed into the calf muscle.

I was told it was a complete rupture...based solely on the Thompson test. I was lucky that the calf muscle did not recede. No formal imaging was done to determine the extent of the tear.
My physiotherapist is convinced there is at least some portion of the tendon remaining as further squeezing of the calf shows small movement in the foot.
