Hello
Since after opp small amount of oozing of blood is very common , this is not a cause of concern. But if this blood is fresh then consult your orthopedic surgeon .
Small amount of oozing is not a cause of concern.
Since this is applied for 3 months in normal circumstance , so plate screw fitted ,you can fly after one month , not a cause of concern.
Within next 3-5 days this blood oozing will stop.
