The knee when not used goes into stiffness the muscle around the joint tightens ( reduces in length ) and weakens due disuse while healing of the bone requires immobilization post operation.
Nothing to worry totally treatable.
Next Steps
You will need a Physiotherapist to undo the stiffness and regain muscle length and strength.
Please consult a Therapist it will be helpful.
