Hi.
First, an xray will be required of the region and then even arthroscopy if possible. It is difficult to asses the cause without examining the ankle myself or without being the one who operated on you.
I dont even know what surgery you underwent other than the location of it. It could do with scar tissue itself or with possible injury to ligaments or tendons. It would be best if you speak to the operating surgeon.
Best wishes.
