What is a heart attack of the bone? Dr. Robert P. Nirschl coined the term "heart attack of the bone" as synonymous with avascular necrosis. Avascular necrosis is a condition which can occur in people as young as 30 years old and as old as 60. The bone most commonly affected is the thigh bone (femur) and the head of the femur – the ball and socket part of the hip joint. It could happen with an injury, or sometimes it is hereditary or metabolic.
