A member asked:
Is it true that false-negatives are sometimes seen with the thompson test and an intact plantaris muscle can produce plantar flexion? suspect rupture.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immediate evaluation: There are other tests to check for a rupture but even if you suspect it then you should be evaluated immediately. I would recommend an MRI.
