If you mean condyle fracture, no, TMJ disc displacement and/or degeneration will not lead to fractures.

No, displacement and/or damage to disc is not associated with condylar or subcondylar fracture. Arthritic joint changes are. Please seek care from Dentist with advanced training in treatment of joint dysfunction.
