no but they dissolve because of the element carbon

Yes, actually they can.

Remember that the bone is a living tissue in and of itself. Without a sufficient blood supply, the part of bone devoid of blood will eventually collapse in on itself and in extreme cases deteriorate the joint.

There are many speculations as to what causes this disease known as Osteonecrosis, while on the other hand there have been cases where no cause could be identified.

So unless you're a magical wizard named Harry Potter, you cannot simply down a bottle of Skele-Gro (who would want to), and expect a new bone to grow overnight.
