as well as plural? I left a note on a report that I had changed "foci" to "focus" when he was clearly stating there was ONE focus of enhancement on an exam, and he just dictated one where he specifies "there is a foci - F - O - C - I - of echogenicity..." on an ultrasound.
So am I just old-fashioned, anal-retentive, or what?

Subject: MRI, s/l in ofen ocious metastatic focus
MRI of the brain did show a 6-mm area of restricted diffusion involving the midline aspects of the splenium of the corpus callosum, which was representing an acute to subacute infarct process. Was less likely to be considered for a metastatic focus. Right-sided parietal calvarial 7-mm lesions were also noted, suggestive of an s/l inofenocious metastatic focus.

Unfortunately I cannot find a "rule" on this either, but if you change "bilateral" to "both" or "right and left" it does not change the meaning of the sentence but you would use the plural, tibias.
In the same way in your example, I believe it should be "examination of the hips, knees and ankles is normal bilaterally." (Consider if "bilateral" was before the word hips instead.)
Again, just my opinion -- tough question! Especially in a sentence fragment such as a diagnosis...
