It depends on if the torsion was relieved before the testicle died or was irreparably injured due to the loss of Blood supply and oxygen. Usually if the surgery occurs within 6 hours of the blood supply being cut off, there is not a big problem with Fertility afterwards. If the testicle is dead, it would have to be removed. That would cut your sperm production total down, but as long as there was one healthy testicle on the other side you could still become a father. There have been plenty of men with low sperm counts, even with one testicle, who have done so. Presuming you have one healthy testicle on full production, although you would have a lower total sperm count, you would still produce enough to do the job. It might not happen the first few times, but eventually the odds are in your favor. It only takes one sperm, after all, to make you a father. If you have had this type injury, your Physician can do a sperm count after Recovery and tell you how you fare in the total population count, as well as how good the odds are in your particular case.
