Pruning Advice Needed – Fig has lost most of its leaves

Hello – as per the title our plant had a rough winter and lost most of its leaves. We've rectified the root cause and its starting to grow healthy leaves from the top. However the stem is now leafeless.

What are our options to promote new leaf growth? Do we cut the stem short and basically start with a clean slate and prune to promote growth again or are there other options? Can we prune along the stem to promote new branches?

Thanks in advance
