I would: Be less worried about surgical glue as the issue. If there is pain, redness, fever or discharge form your incision, you need to get in to see your orthopedic surgeon.

Common: The incisions weep clear fluid on occasion. This does not imply an allergy. Sometimes we still see it several days later when the person is already at the rehabilitation unit. The discharge should be decreasing with time. If it does not or redness, warmth or fever develops contact your surgeon immediately.
