Using second epi derivatives, we introduce a generalized second fundamental form for Lipschitzian hypersurfaces. In the case of a convex hypersurface, our approach leads back to the classical second fundamental form, which is usually obtained from the second fundamental forms of the outer parallel surfaces by means of a limit procedure.
