Complicated: You are very young to have undergone a knee replacement surgery. Having said that, there are certain people that need them because of severe trauma that caused premature arthritis. Your goals must be realistic -- you will not get full motion back like a native knee. Other things to consider is if the knee was implanted properly. Maybe get a second opinion.

Knee replacement: I agree with dr bigos. Also preop contracture is the biggest determinant of postop contracture.
