Recovery time is 4-6 months. Bradley Beal also tore this ligament, a player in the NBA for the Washington Wizards. Here is a doctor discussing the success rates of repairing this ligament...

Quote:BF: What is the success rate of various types of surgical procedures to repair the scapholunate ligament?

Dr. Rozmaryn: I’m not sure exactly what repair Beal had, and there are about 20 different procedures to address it. And I’m going to startle your readers, but the success rate of scapholunate ligament surgery is only 75 to 80 percent, even with the best of hand surgeons. The thing is that many of these repairs fall apart. They may fall apart a year or five years after surgery.
