True or False. The anterior fiber bundle of the MCL is the strongest and stiffest of the elbow and forearm ligaments

True

The MCL fibers

Stabilize against valgus producing force/valgus torque and resist some longitudinal distraction.

is best at resisting valgus. it also resists during all flexion and extension ROM

The posterior part of the MCL

Resists valgus and extreme elbow flexion

The transverse part of the MCL

Provides limited stability of the joint
