Hi
Even after surgery, you need to re-educate the Joint range and muscles and ligaments function.
So it's important that you need to do all Range of Motion (ROM) exercises. It will take some time to gain normalcy. Be patient and exercise regularly.

It occurs when excessive scar tissue forms around a joint, limiting range of motion and causing pain and disability. It can be a complication of knee replacement or anterior cruciate ligament surgery, with infections and bleeding as known contributing factors.
Next Steps
Continue doing Rom exercises

If you are doing after a gap of quite long, then there will be stiffness and you feel hard to do movements but when you start doing few times then it will be easy and free to do.
You need to do exercises frequently to avoid stiffness and keep the muscles flex.
