Both joints are enarthrodial (ball and socket joints), but the hip is more stable than the shoulder. This is out of necessity because the hip must support the weight of the body, while the shoulder does not have to. The cup in the hip that the head of the femur sits in is deeper than that of the shoulder holding the head of the humerus. This means less movement for the hip, but more stability.

What type of joint shoulder and hip contain?
The shoulder and hip joints are both ball-and-socket joints. In these joints, a rounded end of one bone (the ball) fits into a cup-like structure of another bone (the socket), allowing for a wide range of motion in multiple directions. The shoulder joint, or glenohumeral joint, primarily facilitates arm movement, while the hip joint, or acetabulofemoral joint, supports weight-bearing activities and provides stability during walking and running.
Why is the shoulder socket deeper than the hip socket?
The shoulder socket is deeper than the hip socket because the shoulder joint sacrifices stability for mobility. This design allows for a greater range of motion at the expense of stability. In contrast, the hip joint is designed for weight-bearing and stability, so it has a shallower socket to provide better support for the body.
