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

188 views

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

When i cut my tendon in my finger they stitched it back together. It got stiff and wouldnt bend anymore but after about 8 months of stretching and physio i have about 95 percent motion back.

I guess they had to kind of overlap it to stitch it back together and thats why i lost range of motion.
