It can happen that you lose weight when you break a bone. What could be going on is you are losing your muscle mass. Assuming you aren't weight bearing and engaging in as much activity as you did before your accident, you are losing lean muscle mass (which weighs more than fat).
Just make sure you are still in a healthy weight range for your height. Maybe try doing some isometric exercises to keep your hamstrings and quads on your affected leg still strong.
Hope that helps!
You need to check with your doctor. Weight loss after an accident might be something internal going on related to the accident.
