President-elect Joe Biden made a quick trip to Philadelphia Saturday for a medical appointment to get a follow-up CT scan on his fractured foot.

The president-elect suffered the injury last month while playing with one of his dogs. An initial scan found tiny fractures of two small bones in the middle of Biden's right foot.

A statement released Saturday afternoon by Biden's doctor, Kevin O'Connor, said the scan "results were very encouraging."

"The small fracture in the intermediate cuneiform is barely detectable and the small fracture in the lateral cuneiform is healing as expected. No more extensive injury was identified," O'Connor said in the written statement.
