His elbow joints are literally different to other people's not just hyper mobile. I debated using hyper mobile but it doesn't actually give the mental image correctly

It sounds similar to what I have except he’s got it in both arms and he probably can dislocate his shoulders more or just in different ways. It’s still pretty much just hyper mobility, but it includes “subluxation” which is the medical term for partial dislocation. His hypermobility probably enables him to literally dislocate his shoulders without significant pain or noticeable damage.

The operative word is "noticeable". I found out I was hypermobile in my shoulders since a young age. I could slightly dislocate them without any pain. Thought it was a neat party trick. Im 25 now, and if I'm standing up, I have to slightly tense certain muscles in my shoulders or they'll do the same partial dislocation under the weight of my arms.

Useful for retrieving objects off the floor, no doubt

Yes actually. Having that extra inch or so of movement has proved very useful when retrieving stuff from awkward places.
