In a series of 93 forefoot arthroplasties (71 of them followed up), the majority of the cases showed good results of Kates' procedure. The most frequent sources of errors are inadequate treatment of the plantar skin and the formation of steps in the line of resection of the mid-tarsal bones. Rheumatic and degenerative forefoot deformities are equally well suited for this procedure. Forefoot deformities combined with pes equinus appear to be less suitable.
在一系列93例前足关节成形术（其中71例进行了随访）中，大多数病例显示出凯特手术的良好效果。最常见的错误来源是足底皮肤处理不当以及中跗骨切除线处形成台阶。风湿性和退行性前足畸形同样适合该手术。合并马蹄足的前足畸形似乎不太适合。
