On exam, she has a little *valgus varus*, slight edema to the lateromedial aspect of the patella. There is point tenderness. Negative drawer sign.

I know that valgus = bent or twisted away from the midline of the body and varus = bent or twisted inward. Can both be attributed to the same limb?

Yes, same limb
I usually either hyphenate it or "/" it.
