Was there blood in the syringe of the material he took out of the knee? And if so did the knee well up immediately following the crash or over the next 24 hrs or even longer?

There was blood in there (now I'm fearing how bad that is), probably similar colour to this; Removing fluid from knee - YouTube. Knee swole up immediately after the crash. Was drained maybe 24 hours after.Still a bit swollen, but not terribly, picture taken right now

It would be great to see the X-ray, but considering there was two opinions and they both said it wasn't broken that could be a good sign.
Blood in the joint, or haemarthrosis could be due to multiple reasons. You're knee is definitely very swollen. Due to not being able to weight bear on the knee, it would be ideal to order a CT scan to check for any minor fractures that didn't show up on X-ray. How long are you in Vietnam for? Other reasons for haemarthrosis could be ligament tears like an ACL.
My advise would be to stay off the leg as much as possible and keep using the crutch - even find two so you could go totally non-weight bearing.
If you need an online consult, I am happy to see you via video consult, I've attached the link for your information:
Hope that helps!

I have attached the x-ray, ignore the writing on top as I used a youtube video to get a white screen on my laptop.
