Philadelphia, Dec 12 (AP) President-elect Joe Biden's fractured foot has been healing, his doctor said Saturday.

Biden made the drive from his Delaware home to a Philadelphia hospital for a special CT scan that was able to obtain a “weight-bearing” image.

His doctor, in a statement released after the visit, said the small fracture was “healing as expected” “Weight-bearing CT results were very encouraging,” said Dr. Kevin O'Connor, of the GW Medical Faculty Associates.

“No more extensive injury was identified.” The 78-year-old Biden suffered the small fracture two weeks ago while playing with one of his dogs. He wore a walking boot for a few days and has since walked with a noticeable limp.
