Shoulder joint is a very special type of joint. In this scapula bone is not attached to thorax by any bony attachment, except through clavicle bone. Here The medial border of scapula is pushed inside the sheet of muscle. You call them rhomboid-us major and minor on one hand and serratus anterior on other hand. The trapezius and deltoid muscles are interrupted by acromial process of scapula. So that way shoulder has only single bony attachment with the trunk.

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.
Is the wrist considered distal to the shoulder?
