you mother underwent surgery for brain tumor in may 2010. but you didnot mention histo pathology(biopsy) of the tumor. since she is surviving more than 3 years with no increasing weakness it sugessts it would have been benign tumor. for her present weakness probably vigourous physiothearpy may help. if you can meet a neurosurgeon and tell him the histopathology report he may direct you for further radio/chemo therapy if required. you mother had 2 cm shortning of the limb after hip fracture indicates it is fracture neck of femur which requires surgery . kindly consult an orthopaediacian.
