What joints should also be splinted if it is an open fracture between the wrist and elbow?
In addition to the wrist and elbow, the joints that should also be splinted for an open fracture in that area would include the shoulder. This is to immobilize the entire arm and prevent any further injury or damage during transportation to medical care.
Would firing a gun dislocate your shoulder if it were not for your wrist?
It might; however we have elbows. If the gun was held in an arm with no wrist, or a tightly bound wrist, and the gun had a high enough kick-back, the arm would probably bend at the elbow and possibly whack the person in the face. If the person had a completely unbendable arm, then the shoulder would probably get dislocated after firing the gun, provided that the gun, again, has a high kick-back. Hope that helps you :)
Is the shoulder distal to the hips?
The hip joint has a stronger labial rim combined with the ligament and capsule. The ball sits deeper in the socket than the shoulder. Shoulder joints have more range of motion (mobility) but less stability.

What type of joint is in the chicken wing shoulder?
Chickens use their wings to fly, since humans can't fly there's really no part of the human body that corresponds to the wing of a chicken. Many people would suggest an arm because when bent, an arm may look like a chicken wing.
What is a medical name for a sports injury affecting the elbow?

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.

How long does it take to settle claim on elbow injury?
This would certainly depend on the severity of the injury and how long before a physician can diagnose the real damage to the elbow. You would not want to settle the claim before knowing if you will have permanent injuries and to what extent they will be debilitating.
How can you move your arm without the upper arm at the shoulder explained?
To move your arm without using the upper arm at the shoulder, you would need to rely on the muscles in your forearm and hand to create the movement. By using the muscles in your forearm, you can flex and extend your elbow, allowing you to move your lower arm without involving the upper arm at the shoulder joint.

Why are you not able to rotate your leg at the knee or your hands at the elbow?
Joints at the knee and elbow are hinge joints, designed to move in one primary direction (flexion and extension). The structure and shape of these joints limit rotational movement to protect them from injury. Rotation at these joints is mainly performed by the muscles and bones of the forearm and leg rather than at the knee or elbow joints themselves.
