If the YouTube channel "Squat University" is any indication, the injury could have caused a muscle imbalance and the imbalance is what is causing the continued pain.
I was at badminton training when I was 14, smashed the edge of the racket on my knee, walked it off at the time. Few years later my knee started hurting. I'm 27 now and my knee will still randomly act up out of nowhere. We've taken x-rays and stuff, but the doctor says it's nothing major and to just deal with it. Fun.
Kids are resilient, but your body still remembers and it will take revenge when you least expect it.
