President-elect Joe Biden suffered hairline fractures in his right foot over the weekend in an injury that will likely require a walking boot for several weeks, his doctor said Sunday.
The fractures occurred while Biden was playing with Major, one of the Bidens' two German shepherds, on Saturday.
Officials initially believed the president-elect twisted his ankle, and his personal physician, Kevin O’Connor, said later that Biden had sprained his right foot and X-rays did not appear to show “obvious” bone fractures.
But follow-up CT scans revealed small fractures to Biden’s lateral and intermediate cuneiform bones in the mid-section of his right foot, said O’Connor, director of executive medicine at George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates.
“It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks,” O’Connor said.
Reacting to video of Biden leaving an orthopedic office in Delaware on Sunday, President Donald Trump tweeted, "Get well soon!"
