Jose Antonio Rueda ran into the back of the 20-year-old CIP Green Power rider during the sighting lap before the race at the Sepang International Circuit, with Dettwiler flying off his motorcycle and landing heavily on the asphalt.
Both riders received treatment on the track and were taken to hospital by helicopter, with the race delayed by more than an hour.
"He was taken to the hospital in Kuala Lumpur and will need to undergo multiple surgeries," Dettwiler's team said on social media on Sunday.
"Noah is a true fighter, and the entire CIP Green Power team is right behind him."

The report added that Dettwiler had sustained injuries to his spleen and lungs.
Rueda's Red Bull KTM Ajo team confirmed the Spanish rider had suffered a fracture in his hand but was alert and awake in hospital.
