Most important in helpiing resist valgus forces. Attaches 18mm distal to coronoid tip
Anterior bundle of medial collateral ligament
Deficiency of LUCL is manifested as
Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow
Innervation of biceps
Musculocutaneous nerve
Innnervation of triceps
Radial nerve
Innervation of coracobrachialis

Innervation of brachialis
Musculocutaneous
Radial
Origin of biceps
Coracoid (short head)
Supraglenoid (long head)
Origin of triceps

Origin of brachialis
Anterior humerus
Insertion of brachialis
