Could mild tenderness on area smaller than a dime and near/on upper tibia growth plate indicate growth p fracture if there is no walking pain or red?

Osgood-Schlatter: You probably have Osgood-Schlatter disease which is an overuse injury that occurs in the knee area of growing adolescents. It is caused by inflammation of the attachment of the tendon below the kneecap
