What if we use the little fetus bones to replace some of the smaller adult bones, and take those smaller adult bones to replace some bigger adult bones, and so on until we have a big ol’ femur?
The statement “the ocean contains enough water to fill a bucket” doesn’t mean the ocean only contains a single bucket of water. “The ocean contains enough water to fill one bucket” might imply that the ocean only contains one bucket of water but OP doesn’t specify a number. This is an interesting conversation on ambiguous semantics in English.
The additional ~200 bones from fetuses in late stage pregnant woman would be more than the missing bones from amputees etc. OPs statement is accurate.
Wouldn’t they be too small though?
Skeleton size or proportionality not specified.
You can’t use one unfused half-bone in place of one full bone >:(

Actually, OP’s statement is still wrong because there are more bones than 1 entire skeleton on average.
