WASHINGTON (WCBS 880) — First lady Jill Biden underwent a "successful" procedure Thursday to remove "debris" that became lodged in her foot while walking on a beach in Hawaii last weekend, her press secretary said.
"The First Lady underwent a successful procedure on her left foot to flush out debris from a puncture wound," Michael LaRosa said in a statement. "After inspection of the wound by medical staff, it is unclear what object caused the puncture. The wound is now clean, free of infection and it is anticipated that it will heal nicely.
The procedure took place at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
LaRose broke news of the procedure earlier Thursday, tweeting, "Last weekend, prior to her two official events in Hawaii, @FLOTUS stepped on an object on the beach which became lodged in her left foot. She will undergo a procedure today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to remove the object. @POTUS will join her.
