A doctor has provided 1 answer

At almost age 30?: At almost 30 years, a person has no growth plates. They fused about a decade ago. In children with open growth plates, trauma such as from falling hard onto a surface can fracture a growth plate. Mild or typical kids' bruises don't come from big enough forces to cause fractures.
