I was adding fruit to my beer in a conical after primary fermentation had ended. The pureed fruit ended up making a few "kerplops" as it fell into the conical with the lid open.

Now, knowing that fermentation is likely to start up again with all the fruit I added, is there still a chance that the beer got oxidized during this process?
 
All will be well.

I don't think a few splashes, or a little O2, will matter much... We usually oxygenate the wort before fermentation anyways, and the amount is probably negligible, so it would be consumed by the yeast while they munch on the fruit sugars.

Plus the fruit taste should mask minor flavor "errors".

When siphoning I splash or bubble almost every beer at least a little bit. I consider it a personal touch (jk)
