I would since talking about 2 malleoli not 1 malleolus - nm

Thank you - I keep second guessing myself :) - nm - Ortho

nothing to indicate more than one malleolus - nm

Ah, okay. Maybe that is why I kept second guessing! I understand now. TY! :) nm - Ortho

there are three malleoli, medial, lateral and posterior - nm

But I thought medial/lateral/posterior are simply location terms -nm - Ortho

here's a dictionary explanation - sm

The posterior is listed below in previous post, hope that - clears that up, nm

Is it essentially two bones, the ends of the tibia and fibula? - sm - Ortho

malleoli* - whoops! :) - nm - Ortho

Again, there are 3 malleoli, see above - nm

those analogies do not apply here, - sm

no, incorrect - sm

lateral malleolus (distal fibula) medial malleolus (distal tibia) - posterior malleolus, sm

Medial and lateral - Coder

All 3 malleoli are named as such as they all 3 - have different locations, nm

agree 100% - hmmm

Thank you everyone for the input! Much appreciated!! - nm - Ortho

when stating two or more of same item joined with the word and - hmmm

pain in both the right and left knee(s) - sm
