No, they appear pretty much exactly the same way as dark shadows called' hot spots'. The history of the patient is what makes the difference in making the diagnosis. For example: If one claims to have injured the area in the past then a doctor may diagnose traumatic Arthritis. If one does not claim previous injury to the area then a doctor may diagnose degenerative arthritis.

∙ 11y agoThe primary difference between traumatic arthritis and degenerative arthritis is -
traumatic arthritis is temporary while degenerative arthritis is progressive.
Traumatic arthritis is the body's response to an injury (sprain, fracture et.) due to which the injured joint gets inflamed.
Degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis is caused because of the depletion of the cartilage layer between the joints (in the process of aging) due to which two bones can rub against each other resulting in pain and joint inflammation.
