Newark, Delaware – President-elect Joe Biden suffered minor fractures to his foot while playing with one of his dogs and will likely have to wear a protective boot for several weeks, his personal physician said Sunday.
The incident occurred on Saturday, Biden’s office said in a statement, and the 78-year-old Democrat visited an orthopedist Sunday for X-rays and a CT scan.
Doctors initially thought the former vice president had simply sprained his ankle, but ordered a further exploration of the injury.
A “follow-up CT scan confirmed small fractures,” said Biden’s personal physician, Kevin O’Connor, in a separate statement distributed by Biden’s office. “You will likely need a walking boot for several weeks.”
After defeating President Donald Trump in the November 3 presidential election, Biden will be the oldest person to take office when he enters the White House on January 20. Your health is likely to be closely watched by allies and opponents alike.
Trump, who has not admitted defeat in the election and is contesting the results in court, wished Biden a speedy recovery. “Get well soon!” Trump said in a tweet.
