It is of interest to note that a rib that has been removed will grow again, replacing itself, as long as the periosteum (the membrane of connective tissue that covers the bone) is allowed to remain. Whether Jehovah God followed this procedure or not the record does not state; however, as mans Creator, God was certainly aware of this unusual quality of the rib bones....................... so when he made eve from the rib they were now one flesh
he build for Adam a perfect counterpart, the woman Eve. (Ge 2:21, 22) now united as bone of bone and flesh of flesh with his wife. (Ge 2:23; De 32:4)
