Biden broke his foot in several places: what happened
President-elect Joe Biden suffered multiple foot fractures while playing with his dog Major. His doctor said he would probably need to wear a special brace for several weeks. More about the incident told the publication CNN.
“Initial x-rays showed no obvious fractures, but clinical examination required more detailed imaging,” Dr. Kevin O'Connor said on Sunday, November 29. — A subsequent CT scan confirmed small cracks in the lateral and medial cuneiform bones, which are located in the midfoot. It is estimated that he will likely need to walk in a brace for several weeks.”
Earlier on Sunday, a spokesman for the president-elect announced that Biden was going to be examined by a podiatrist after he sprained his ankle while playing with a dog.
