This is the provisional report of a patient with a multiple distal humerus fracture in Switzerland. The "sentence" is as follows:
Diagnosen
Mehrfach fragmentierte, distale Humerusfraktur links (adominant)
I could not find 'adominant' anywhere - any ideas? The patient does not seem to have any other problems, so it doesn't seem to be the opposite of 'dominant'. Thanks for your help, as always!

non-dominant
This is the common term when speaking about hemispheric dominance at least.
I would suspect the patient is right-handed, hence, the left is his non-dominant arm.

non-dominant
Does it mean that the patient is not left-handed, i.e. the fracture doesn't affect the dominant side of handedness...?
