Lightbulb it is possible

That your leg was made slightly longer during the replacement.

When that happens, the rest of the muscles/ligaments in your legs/back have to adjust.

I'd get a good chiropractor to check you out. If it turns out that the operated leg has changed, you may be able to fix the problem by putting a lift or shoe orthotic in the other shoe.
A good podiatrist can make those for you.

I have seen knee replacements put on CROOKED...twisted.
Those people have a hard time walking as well.
