In this paper, we establish global Sobolev a priori estimates for [Formula: see text]-viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations as follows: [Formula: see text] by considering minimal integrability condition on the data, i.e. [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and a regular domain [Formula: see text], and relaxed structural assumptions (weaker than convexity) on the governing operator. Our approach makes use of techniques from geometric tangential analysis, which consists in transporting “fine” regularity estimates from a limiting operator, the Recession profile, associated to [Formula: see text] to the original operator via compactness methods. We devote special attention to the borderline case, i.e. when [Formula: see text]. In such a scenery, we show that solutions admit [Formula: see text] type estimates for their second derivatives.
