Stretched ligaments?

Hi there! Just had my right TKA yesterday. Doing okay, I think; the pain is for real but it'll all be worth it in the end. One thing my surgeon mentioned is that it took quite a bit longer due to general messiness and that all the ligaments were stretched. I'm sure I'll see him on rounds later today but i can't seem to find anything on Google about it and wondered if anyone else has had this, what it actually was, what the effects were etc. Thanks in advance, and have a good day!
