Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

I have gone through your entire problem and will try to address all your queries.

1. I dont think it will affect your marital life generally.
2. Yes the surgery will need to be repeated generally but the time span depends on the extent of use of implant .
3. There will not be any affection of your marital life or sexual functions.
4. No since this occured due to accident there is no probability of transmission to child .
5. I think he will be able to maintain himself both physically and functionally throughout.

Only one advise is that the surgeon who has operated will be the best person as he knows all the case , the extent of injury sustained at that time and the systems affected as just knowing the name of operation is not sufficient . So you should must meet him as only he will be able to tell you all things rightly and truly as to what happened exactly.

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
