I have a torn peroneal brevis tendon. i was in physical therapy when this injury occurred recovering from ankle surgery. what could've went wrong?

Hard to say: Multiple potential causes. It would be in part related to the condition that you had surgery for, or could be related to the surgery itself, or it might have occurred with physical therapy. I certainly would not hesitate to discuss with your surgeon.
