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...
