Yes and no. I ended up with partial tears to a ligament in back of both hands. Surgery was said to be about 25% successful repair full tears and much less at improving the condition for those with partial tears. It took about a dozen prolotherapy treatments spread over a couple of years to regain full function. That was normal prolo, prior to the days where PRP is the solution of choice.

I also had AC joint shoulder surgery nearly ruined by an overly aggressive physical therapist who had me doing exercises that strained the growing scar tissue needed for the joint to heal correctly. It took about 10 years of intermittent prolotherapy, sometimes using PRP, sometimes not, before I hit the right combination and sequence of prolo and strengthening exercises to regain full function. PRP is a great tool used correctly but it's also snake oil when the practitioner promises the sun, the moon, and the stars with it.
