Abstract
ABSTRACT
This case report describes a 45-year-old man whose left hand was skewered by a catfish spine while he was attempting to dehook the fish. Catfish spines can create punctures, lacerations, and foreign body injuries. The catfish spine generally is serrated, which can make removal difficult.
