[서화목] Joe Biden suffered a fracture in his right foot



U.S. President-elect Joe Biden suffered a fracture in his right foot after spending time with his dog.


According to foreign media such as Reuters and CNN, Biden's side said on the 29th (local time) that a small fracture was found in the center of the injured foot after a close examination after an ankle injury.


"There was no apparent fracture in the initial X-ray, but more detailed footage was needed," Biden's doctor Kevin O'Connor said. "Additional CT scans showed microfractures in the outer and medial phalanges in the center of Biden's feet."


O'Connor said Biden would have to wear walking boots for weeks.


According to an earlier statement, Biden sprained his ankle while spending time with his dog, "Major," on the 28th. At the time, Biden was staying in Rehobos Beach, Delaware, where his villa was located, for the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.


Biden said Biden did an X-ray and CT exam at an orthopedic clinic in Delaware to be cautious. The Associated Press reported that Biden, who was heading to the video center for a CT scan, limped noticeably, but walked without crutches or other assistance.


When news of Biden's injury spread, President Trump shared a video of him being treated at a hospital on Twitter, saying, "I hope you get well soon."


Major is a German shepherd species adopted by the Biden couple from an abandoned dog protection group in 2018. In addition to Major, Biden is also raising Shepherd's Champ, which he won after the 2008 presidential election. Along with the two dogs, a cat enters the White House with Biden and is named "First Pet," according to foreign media.


Biden, who is currently 78 years old, will become the oldest president of the United States if he takes office on January 20 next year, so health issues have been one of the main concerns since he was a presidential candidate. Biden said in December that he was taking drugs to maintain cholesterol levels. At the time, the doctor assessed that Biden was healthy, energetic, and in good shape to successfully serve as president.
