Newark: President-elect Joe Biden visited an orthopedist on Sunday for x-rays and a CT-scan “out of an abundance of caution” for a sprained ankle, said his office in a statement. While he was playing with one of his dogs on Saturday but didn’t appear to suffer any broken bones, his office said on Sunday, citing Biden’s personal physician.

“Initial X-rays are reassuring that there is no obvious fracture,” Biden’s personal physician Kevin O’Connor said in a separate statement distributed by Biden’s office. O’Connor said Biden will get another scan for more detailed imaging. His health is likely to be watched closely by allies and opponents alike.
