Best Answer

I am not sure what the question is. If there was an injury and the elbow needs to be immobolized a sling is the best option. If the questions is regarding the structure of our body, the elbow joint, along with other structures is connected to a bone called the humerus; the humerus, with many other structures is connected to the shoulder joint.

The elbow and shoulder can be considered part of the muscular system or the skeletal system.

The elbow is an example of a hinge joint or a joint moving in one direction, permitting only flexion and extension. The shoulder (or humeroscapular) joint is formed by the articulation of the head of the humerus with the scapula.

Is shoulder is superior to the elbow?

It would seem that it would be called that but when dealing with the arms and legs, the positional anatomy only involves the attachment to the body. We use proximal and distal and not inferior and superior. The point of attachment (POT) is the shoulder joint. Since the elbow is further away from the POT, is said to be distal. And the shoulder joint is proximal to the elbow. You must always use two things to compare. In this case the elbow and the shoulder.
