Fish hook vs. fishhook?

Which one or both? --Hartz (talk) 07:44, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Both. I've added it to the lead. Thanks. --Epipelagic (talk) 09:49, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fish hook removal

The only statement in the article on injuries is currently this figure legend: A hook in a finger. Either surgery or pushing the hook through the finger are the least destructive methods to remove a barbed fishing hook. These two papers on removal of fishhooks suggests several methods are available of retrograde (reverse-path) removal rather than only the pushing through option.
