contents We consider the class $S^m_\perp(Ω)$ of $m$-dimensional surfaces in $\barΩ \subset {\mathbb R}^n$ which intersect $S = \partial Ω$ orthogonally along the boundary. A piece of an affine $m$-plane in $S^m_\perp(Ω)$ is called an orthogonal slice. We prove estimates for the area by the $L^p$-integral of the second fundamental form in three cases: first when $Ω$ admits no orthogonal slices, second for $m = p = 2$ if all orthogonal slices are topological disks, and finally for all $Ω$ if the surfaces are confined to a neighborhood of $S$. The orthogonality constraint has a weak formulation for curvature varifolds. We classify those varifolds of vanishing curvature. As an application, we prove for any $Ω$ the existence of an orthogonal $2$-varifold which minimizes the $L^2$ curvature in the integer rectifiable class.
