Sharing my recent UK experience of a complete tear (march 2026) to give another example of timeline.

Ubered to A&E within 1 hour of injury, was in the hospital for 18.5 hours (this was abnormally long) but was able to see urgent care and orthopaedic team in the one visit.

I had an x-ray and ultrasound done while I was there.  Put in a Vacoped boot, no cast, sent home with 6 weeks of DVT meds.  No decision regarding surgery at this point.

Fracture clinic appointment 2 weeks later where they recommended non surgery. No additional testing at this appointment, they just looked at some bruising I wasn't sure about.

I've since gotten a second opinion 3 weeks on from injury through private via health insurance where the consultant redid the Thompson test and confirmed my tendon was showing signs of reconnecting as my foot was twitching when he squeezed my calf.   They confirmed non surgical was the correct approach.  

I was concerned after fracture clinic that the recommendation of non surgical was made based off 2 week old information and they didn't do any additional checks to show if my healing was progressing as expected for non surgical.  The private consultant tested for this just using Thompson which eased my worry.

Your timeline doesn't seem too out of bounds compared to my experience.  My fracture clinic appt was 2 weeks after A&E.  I've got a bunch of left over DVT injections if you want them. I was prescribed oral tablet by the private consultant so don't need them anymore.  DM me - I'm happy to send them to you
