A lot of Baby Boomers are really getting fit – and winding up in the emergency room. It’s a phenomenon known in the medical field as Boomeritis. As the Baby Boom generation started to hit their 40s and 50s, fitness and wellbeing saw a big boom as well.

Marathons and vigorous workouts or tennis matches are resulting in an explosion of ligament injuries and Boomer blowouts of the knees and other joints.
