When examined soon after the injury, a tear in the substance of the tendon can be seen and palpated. With increased time after the tear, the gap can be obliterated by oedema, and palpation becomes unreliable. In addition to the tests described in this journal in the June issue (volume 30, page 124), two other clinical tests should be mentioned.Matles test The patient, lying prone and with feet over the end of the examination couch, is asked to flex the knee actively to 90. The position of the ankle and feet is observed during this movement. If the foot on the affected side falls into neutral or into dorsiflexion, an Achilles tendon rupture is diagnosed. In normal patients, the foot remains in slight planter flexion when the knee is flexed to 90'. 1
