The authors did improve their paper. The current title is suitable. The abstract is very wordy and it lacks details about the presented case.

Reviewer 2 Report (New Reviewer)
Many thanks to the authors for the submission. The topic is interesting, however some modifications are required.
1) in the introduction section too much has been dedicated to pathology, while the title of this research aims to evaluate recovery of defects after surgery, for this reason the text from line 107 to 113 should be removed.
2) The original topic of this research should be underlined in the introduction section: for this reason at line 116 the present phrase should be added after "procedures...
"..Bone graft could be performed with calvarial, iliac or fibula graft, while GBR is performed with autogenous and/or synthetic biomaterials. Recovery after regenerative interventions may be related to a period after surgery of delayed or complicated healing."

Hello
Dear reviewer, thank you for your kind support and wise advice. It was a great pleasure working with you. Thank you
This manuscript is a resubmission of an earlier submission. The following is a list of the peer review reports and author responses from that submission.
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The article contains little new knowledge, it summarises the current state of knowledge. Unfortunately, there are numerous editing errors in the article that limit readability. In addition, it is unclear why the values in Z48 are in brackets. The title is inaccurate and suggests that different treatment techniques are presented. However, there is only one case and when listing the treatment options, there is no concretisation of which situations have which indication. In particular, there are no metric parameters or exact specifications of what the findings should be. In addition, there is no list of which measure is associated with which success.
Reviewer 2 Report
The paper of Nelke et al. is a case report about a case diagnosed with AFO.
To begin with, the title does not reflect the content of this case report, the term “treatment possibilities” provide an indication that the authors tried several treatment modalities and reported results, which is not true for this paper. I would suggest choosing a title that stated “an overview of treatment modalities ….”
The English language needs thorough revision and correction, there is extensive use of some terms like “herein”, “however”, “in old studies” and others. There is a clear problem in using punctuation which makes understanding ideas difficult.
The abstract is very wordy and should be revised and rephrased. Please mention details about the reported case in the abstract and the outcomes, so readers can understand what they are reading about from the beginning.
Overall, the introduction is very long and wordy. I would suggest that authors concentrate on the current knowledge in this field instead of providing a historical overview of the condition, or at least they should summarize lines from 44 to 65 to 2 or 3 lines.
The “case report presentation” was presented adequately and comprehensively
The conclusion is irrelevant and not supported by the presented evidence
