This case report describes the treatment of a six-year-old boy with his thumb jammed in a door knob, classified as Stage 1 according to the Urbaniak classification. Initial attempts at gentle release failed, leading to the need for surgical intervention under general anesthesia. The report emphasizes the importance of minimizing soft tissue injury and the risks associated with iatrogenic neurovascular injury during the release process.
