Because of disuse muscle atrophy. This happens in conservative management. Do not worry start exercising the muscles around injured area. Muscle bulk will come back by 2-3 weeks.

Hi.., its not smaller , it must have become thinner.., this is called muscle atrophy.., occurs because the body part was not moving   so muscle bulk has been reduced. Don't worry when u do movements of your leg and weight bearing, it will become like earlier. Consult a physiotherapist for exercises direction. Tc
