Quick Summary:

• A Fishhook Injury is a type of penetrating injury that occurs when a fishhook gets stuck in the skin, soft tissues of the hand or face. In most cases, the peculiar barbed end of a fishhook makes its removal difficult
• Fishhook Injuries are more common among individuals who are into recreational fishing. Generally, the condition is not serious, but if the fishhook gets embedded near the eye, pierces a cartilage/tendon, or severs a blood vessel or nerve, then it may be complicated
• The removal technique depends on the type of fishhook involved. Some fishhooks are simple/single hooked with multiple barbs, while others are treble hooked (more than two “U” shaped hooks) with multiple barbs

Note:

• Seek medical help, as appropriate
• In case of severe and/or life-threatening symptoms, call 911 (or your local emergency number) for immediate assistance
• Confirm that the airways are protected; also, ensure breathing and the presence of pulse (as applicable)
