I tore my extensor tendon 75% off the elbow bone. PT took away the pain but did not restore strength. Did one round of PRP, very painful for a week. Pain resolved, but strength did not come back. As said above, tendons, like discs, don't have much blood circulation. But I am told it works great for rotator cuff tear and knees.
