how do tendons get repaired and how does cartilage get repaired?

Can they grow larger/ stronger after micro tearing like a muscle? I know they have no direct blood supply like a muscle and they take longer to heal but how do they get nutrients? Also I don’t know much about cartilage at all lol

My Achilles was fixed by a suture bridge. Then the surgeon punched holes in the tendon and did an old version of PRP, putting blood in the tendon. That’s over 10 years ago.
