Brief Answer:
Should see the Doctor ASAP.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific and the clear picture.
Noted your history of some blood and fluid seeping from one spot of the wound weeks after TKR.
This is a concern and you should see your Doctor ASAP. It is very important to know whether the seepage is just from the tissues under the skin or deep withing as now there is a foreign body connected to the joint and bones.
