In that hip replacements are uncommon in women of childbearing age, there is no study I'm aware of. Probably just anecdotal stories of a single patient. You may wish to have you OB or orthopedist consult an orthopedic hospital (in NY we have Hospital for Special Surgery and Hospital for Joint Diseases) and see if they have anything more than anecdotal experience.
