Help - Need revision surgery to massive rotor cuff tear

I had a massive crash during a motocross race in May 2017. Did a whole stack of injuries including tearing my liver in 2 places and nearly died from the internal bleeding. They told me at the time I had no injury to my right shoulder, turns out I had massive full thickness cuff tears to both infraspinatus and supraspinatus tendons and also a 40% tear to long head biceps. After having to go to private physio who diagnosed the problem I had an operation 7 months later to repair the tendons. The operation was successful but my biceps tendon was subluxed and so the surgeon cut my long head biceps! After 6 months of infrequent physio I went to the gym maybe being over confident but wanting to push things along as I felt I hadn't regained basic function. Tore it again doing in hind sight stupid exercise assisted dips.

I think I caused the re-tear due to causing impingement of the supraspinatus tendon while performing pressing movements.

I campaigned for 6 months to get a surgeon to do a revision operation, when starting the SCR he felt I had bone changes and so abandoned the operation. I can't believe that this is it and I have to continue in pain for the rest off my life.

They say no one in the world can fix me.

I still would like to investigate having an operation, someone in the world must be prepared to give it a go? I have very good ROM Any advice welcome.
