No adnexae. Adnexa is the pleural. See inside
Subject: No adnexae. Adnexa is the pleural. See inside

Adnexa: This Latin word (in the plural) is used in medicine in reference to appendages. For example, in gynecology the adnexa are the "appendages" of the uterus, namely the ovaries, Fallopian tubes and ligaments that hold the uterus in place.

Common Misspellings: adnexal

IMO only, but seems plural SM
Subject: IMO only, but seems plural SM

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...
