Lower Trapezius Transfer vs Bridging Reconstruction

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the bridging reconstruction technique vs the lower trapezius tendon transfer in patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. The main questions it aims to answer are: * comparing the outcomes of the two surgical techniques (BRR with an acellular human dermal allograft implant vs Arthroscopic Assisted LTT Transfer) on the maintenance of the acromiohumeral distance * compare the outcomes of strength, range of motion, and patient reported quality of life scores between the two techniques Participants will be randomized into one of two surgical treatment groups (bridging reconstruction or lower trapezius tendon transfer) and followed for a minimum of two years to compare the outcomes between groups.
