Can anyone tell me if I have the form of the word malleoli correct in this sentence. Should it be malleoli or malleolus in this sentence. The doc is saying malleoli, but it sounds funny to me. Here is the sentence:
She has mild edema to the left ankle with mild tenderness over the bilateral malleoli, a little more prominent over the lateral malleoli, just anterior.

I have searched MTStars and can't find my answer. I have posted this question before and do not get a reply. I promise this will be my last attempt to find this answer. I know how to use follow up and follow-up, BUT many people are using followup per BOS. I can't find followup as a word in any dictionary. Can someone please tell me where this is found BESIDES BOS? Thanks in advance. We are possibly putting in a quality check and I want to make sure I have it correct before then. Thank you!
