Just my $.02 here.
I could be very helpful if you aren't a professional athlete. Even if he has just a borderline tear surgery may be the smarter option as to not lose any durability in that knee.
If it were you or me? You do non surgical treatments and hope that works probably.
As mentioned tendons don't have blood supply which is why they don't heal well or quick on their own and that's why PRP works to help that out.
I tore my right hamstring tendon up near the insertion point of my buttocks. Took almost 12 months to get back to normal.
