As Biden, who will probably be walking with a walking boot for the following weeks, was getting ready to leave the doctor's office, he was photographed by NBC News getting into a vehicle.

President Trump later retweeted NBC's video and surprisingly wrote to Biden: 'Get well soon!'

Initially, Dr Kevin O'Connor said Biden 'sustained a sprain of his right foot' and that there was 'no obvious fracture'.

But a following CT scan 'confirmed hairline (small) fractures of President-elect Biden's lateral and intermediate cuneiform bones, which are in the midfoot,' according to a statement from O'Connor.

'It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks,' O'Connor added.

Biden's office said he was brought to the doctor 'out of an abundance of caution'.

Fractures are concerning for someone as old as Biden, but he's fracture seems to be a relatively easy one based on his doctor's statement and the planned treatment.

At 78 he will become the oldest president when he's inaugurated in January; he often rejected questions on his age throughout the campaign.

He published a doctor's report in December that revealed he takes a statin to keep his cholesterol at healthy levels, yet his doctor said he is 'healthy, vigorous' and 'fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency'.

Reporters covering the president-elect were not allowed to see Biden enter the doctor's office, notwithstanding many requests.

Pictures revealed Biden's motorcade arriving at the Delaware Orthopaedic Specialists office on Sunday afternoon and leaving Sunday night.

Secret Service agents were waiting outside the office as a doctor examined Biden's ankle.

Biden was playing with Major, one of the Bidens' two dogs, when he sprained his ankle.

The Bidens adopted Major in 2018, and got their first dog, Champ, after the 2008 election.

Biden officials have said Major will be the first rescue dog to ever live in the White House.

The Bidens have said they'll be taking their dogs to the White House with them and also plan to get a cat.

Though, some think that Trump's well-wishing is pure sarcasm, Graham Allen, Host of “Dear America podcast”, a Republican, took to Twitter, writing: “@realDonaldTrump LITERALLY is responsible for getting a vaccine ready for Americans due to operation Warp Speed...virtually NOTHING from the media! Biden twisted his ankle while playing with his dog and it’s on EVERY major news outlet?! THE MEDIA IS THE ENEMY!!”
