• Fracture toughness of the scapula is significantly higher under compressive loading compared to tensile or shear loading.
• Bone density and loading direction are critical factors influencing scapular fracture toughness.
• Finite element analysis accurately predicts fracture patterns observed in experimental testing.
• These findings can guide the design of scapular implants and improve surgical outcomes.
