Healing Patellar Tendon Tear with PRP

This was an interesting case, where our physical exam didn't elicit that the patellar tendon was involved in the patient's pain, but there was a small tear found under ultrasound imaging during our procedure. Several things from this - first, we have to understand that the physical exam is not perfect, and can sometimes miss things; second we need to understand that tears and structural changes aren't always painful so sometimes they aren't overly important. But, for this patient I believe the tear was important due to recreated some familiar pain during the injection of the patellar tendon.
