I once had to set anchors useing kangaroo bones driven into the ground by hitting them with a rock. On that occasion the leg bones worked best.
Four equalised kangaroo bones held well, pulling an '85 model Holden Shuttle up a 1in20 sloped cow paddock on a 3:1 and 5:1 haul system.

So anyway forsure rib bones could hold ya tent down . . . or up . . . what ever the correct term would be.

But as for any broken bone i'd recommend rubbing Comfrey ( also known as Knit-bone ) ointment into the sore spot.
You can usually get Comfrey from the chemist, otherwise a health food place might have it.
