I think it boils down to how his individual bones are connected to one another and the degree of the tensile strength that holds the connecting bones together. you have to understand human anatomy and physiology to appreciate the complexities behind wolverine's adamantium skeleton and the ultra high tensile joints. Having an adamantium skeleton will be extremely hard to decapitate, why?, because the distance of how two individual bones connects is extremely small, meaning there is less space for connective tissues like tendons and ligament, that explains why a sword will stop and not cut through his spine, fingers, joints, because the blade will hit two connecting adamantium bones, hence it will break or stop the sword's force.
99% of the time, the blade does not get to hit in-between two connecting adamantium bones, especially bones as complex in structure and shape. ones with irregular shapes; vertebra, ribs, humerus, radius, tibia, phalanges, scapula, patella etc.. but in most cases the blade gets to hit individual bones covered with adamantium.
like before another explanation is why he is indestructible is the tensile strength of his joints, especially his tendons and ligament. you have to understand that the weight of the adamantium will put pressure on his tendons and ligament, hence his body has to keep up with the new weight of his highly dense bones. fortunately for him, is constant regenerative healing factor allows his body to either make new tendon packed tissues to support the weight or it constantly tears and repairs itself to hold his joints together, so this will explain why his ball and socket joints ( femur and humerus) gets popped out but not ripped out, that is why baal couldn't rip his arms out, the tensile strength holding two bones is too strong.
