PRP or stems cells wouldn't regenerate a ligament that was removed. If it remained but was damaged, scarred, partially excised, etc. those could help but they will not grow a new ligament to replace what isn't there.

I've not ever heard of anyone doing this yet but, if someone starts playing with the idea, a partial ligament transplant would also benefit from subsequent stem cell injections.

What PRP and stem cells might do to help a joint that's unstable because a ligament was removed would be to strength surrounding ligaments. You'd never get full stability back but you'd be able to improve the situation
