HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The trauma may have damaged soft tissue and is also appeared to have caused rupture of blood vessels in the area.
Rest is important but at some point (if doctor permits), you need to start exercising and moving the knee.
You may want to consider consulting a physiotherapist to find out the best regimen for you.
I hope this helps
