All of Wolverine's abilities are tied to his healing factor. Heightened senses, high stamina, increased lifespan, etc., are due to the fact that his cells are constantly being replaced. Unlike a normal human where that process slows down with age. I thind one of the reasons I stopped reading The Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine, and the other X-books, is when someone at Marvel decided that Wolverine was too strong and made him weaker by having Magneto strip him of his adamantium. The new/current origin about him having "bone claws" is just an excuse to explain another dumb idea. One of the earlier explanations I've read about said that the bone claws were his body's response to the missing adamantium claws(which didn't make much sense.) According to the earlier origins and the first Marvel Encyclopedia series, the claws were pure adamantium and were mechanically deployed. I'm not sure if the movie will go with natural claws bonded to adamantium, or solid adamantium claws. Also, in most of the earlier origins, when they show the first time his claws pop out, there is a shocked look on his face. Suggesting that he wasn't aware that he had them.

There have been several times where Wolverine's forearms were shown with the flesh removed. The most detailed was in an issue titled "Days of Future Past," and that version showed a forearm that looked like some of the bones had been replaced with mechnical pieces. The claws have been drawn as either elongated animal like claws and later as blades. Neither version though, ever looked thick enough to have a bone inside them.

As far as I can remember, the only side effect of the adamantium fusion process was that it somehow caused him to suffer from "berserker rages" from time to time.

There is one other thing that his healing factor helps him with, he has an interesting disease. He has (or had anyways) hemophilia.
