edema in the lower leg and ankle / edema in the leg extending up to the knee

Explanation:
In this context, "bota corta" refers to edema or swelling in the lower leg, ankle, and foot, while "bota larga" refers to edema or swelling extending up to the knee or higher. So a more accurate translation could be "edema in the lower leg and ankle" for "bota corta" and "edema in the leg extending up to the knee" for "bota larga".

up to the ankle // up to the thigh (above the knees)

Explanation:
Por plantear una posibilidad de fraseo completo en inglés y aunque no hay una única forma de expresarlo, por ejemplo:

1.
"(...) edema en bota corta (Godet +)"

[bilateral] 1+ pitting edema up to the ankles

2.
"(...) edema en miembros inferiores hasta la rodilla (Godet +++), en bota larga (+), escrotal y peneana"

bilateral 3/4+ pitting edema up to the knees [from knees down bilaterally; below the knees], 1+ pitting edema above the knees [up to the thighs], and [non-pitting] edema of the scrotum and penis

En el segundo caso se aprecia la diferencia entre "hasta la rodilla" (Godet +++) y "bota larga" (Godet +), que necesariamente traslada la idea de edema en este caso que afecta al muslo -por encima de la rodilla-, con menor fóvea a nivel de muslos (Godet +) que por debajo de las rodillas (Godet +++). En otro contexto, "bota larga" podría leerse así como afectación de toda la pierna incluido el muslo (up to the thigh).
