Pro tip: Go out and hurt your other knee to help overcome the mental battle with your operated knee.
I also struggled with having a "good knee" for the first year or two after surgery until one day I hit a tree snowboarding and sprained the MCL on my "good knee". Being forced to solely use the operated knee for a few weeks quickly cleared up any concerns I had with the results of the operation.
Also there might be a slight inbalance but that may have nothing to do with the operation. Most people have a dominant leg and if you're like me you tore you're non-dominant leg. No matter how much I focus on training my operated leg it's always smaller than my dominant leg.
