Answer
Hi Maareb,

Charcot foot is a very complex condition that can only be discussed after seeing the patient and the condition.  It would be impossible for me to comment on this condition.   Here in the US we often cast a Charcot foot until it calms and only consider surgery if there is severe disabling deformity.
