0:55Now PlayingBiden sustained a hairline fracture to his right foot while playing with Major, one of his dogs, over the Thanksgiving weekend. He’ll likely require a walking boot for the next several weeks, his doctor said.
The diagnosis from his personal physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, came after Biden received X-rays and a CT scan Sunday evening near his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
The injury happened Saturday while Biden was spending the holiday weekend with his family in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where they have a vacation home.
Biden’s transition team issued a statement earlier Sunday afternoon saying he would see an orthopedist on Sunday “out of an abundance of caution.”
After X-rays at a Newark, Delaware, orthopedic medicine practice, his doctor said Biden sprained his foot and had no apparent fracture. But a follow-up scan at another medical office showed small fractures in the lateral and intermediate cuneiform bones in his mid-foot.

Major was adopted by the Bidens from the Delaware Humane Association in 2018 and is set to become the first shelter dog to live with the first family.
