Pain, swelling: Usually one has had an injury with a twisting mechanism you will typically be unable or have difficulty weightbearing. Usually there is a large knee effusion making knee flexion difficult.. Obviously there would be fracture site pain of a considerable amount.

Knee pain: The tibial plateau is the upper portion of the tibia, so the primary symptom would be pain just below the knee. At your age, a traumatic event would be expected to cause the fracture. These fractures are usually visible on a simple x-ray.
