Is the humerus inferior, superior or medial to the radius?

It isn't any of those actually. When talking about limbs, you use distal or proximal. Proximal means closer to the point of origin. So the Humerous is proximal to the radius, because it is closer to the origin. The radius is distal to the Humerous. But out of inferior, superior, or medial, superior is closest.
