description Background: Congenital femoral deficiency (CFD) is a challenging and complex condition that causes limb lengthening. We focused on the clinical and radiographic results of <i>SUPERhip</i> procedures in patients with congenital femoral deficiency type 1b, according to Paley’s classification, prior to femoral lengthening. Methods: We reviewed all records and radiographs of patients who underwent this procedure between 2005 and 2020. We included 26 patients, with clinical and radiographic assessments performed during pre- and post-operative evaluations. Results: There were twenty-six patients (15 right vs. 11 left), with a mean age of 7 years (1–18). Most of the patients were female (17 patients; 65.4%). Twenty (76.9%) patients were undergoing their first procedure and six (23.1%) had already undergone a previous surgery. There was a significant improvement in all radiographic parameters, with the mean preoperative and postoperative Neck-Shaft Angle (NSA) being 72.3 ± 7.1° vs. 133.1 ± 12.7°, the Center-Edge Angle (CEA) 16.8 ± 9.8° vs. 33.5 ± 14.1°, and the Acetabular Index (AI) 27.8 ± 6.9° vs. 16.4 ± 6.8°, respectively. The complication rate was 15.4%, predominantly affecting patients under 5 years old. Conclusions: The <i>SUPERhip</i> procedure is an effective and reproducible technique for clinical and radiographic correction to a significant degree in patients with Paley’s type 1b CFD, in preparation for bone lengthening surgery.
