After suturing the ends of the AT together with a modified \u201cKessler\u201d method (Prolene 5\u20130). The skin incision was interrupted and sutured with 1\u20130 thread. Rats were divided into three immobilization methods (plaster cast group, splint group, and K\u2010wire group). In plaster cast group, the hind leg was cast with plaster in the extended position of the hip and knee joints, and the ankle joint was at 150\u00b0. Splint and K\u2010wire group used splints and 0.8\u2010mm K\u2010wires, separately. The fixed period was 4\u2009weeks. The incidence of stability and complications (death, necrosis of the legs, necrosis of the skin, and incisional infection) were recorded. Differences were detected using the chi\u2010square test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Within 4\u2009weeks observation, K\u2010wires showed better stability (90%) compared with the other two ways (40% in plaster cast group, 65% in splint group;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
