Avoid sitting Cross legged. Avoid Squatting- Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain. Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day. Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day.

Hello there,,,,well there can be possibility of it...however the most appropriate person to answer your query would be the orthopaedic surgeon who operated on you...get an appointment and visit him...as this problem needs physical assessment.
Next Steps
for the time being wear the knee-brace/cap which was given to you...to have stability of the joint and prevent furthur complications. regards & take care.

As I gather that there was an arthroscopy done. If a menisectomy was done is not clear. Usually a partial menisectomy is done. If another injury has occurred then the remaining meniscus can also tear again. So it is possible that the meniscus would have torn again
Next Steps
Visit an arthroscopy surgeon
