I wonder  whether the age of the break matters?  Certainly, one wouldn't
make a  knife out of a bone that had just been broken in battle, but I
don't see  any reason that a bone broken in childhood, and healed
properly, couldn't  be used when the donor dies in adulthood.

I believe that healed bone is as strong as unbroken bone eventually, so it  
should work.  It might not look the same, but should work as well.
