I do not think that it is related to neck surgery. it is most probably a ligament surgery issue. it can be a lack of physiotherapy or a very tight ligament.I would suggest you to meet your operating surgeon and he will be able to give you answer about this thing. If you are not satisfied with his answer then you can get repeat MRI to see what exactly is happening with your knee.
