Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Risks and Uncertainties	RISK AND UNCERTAINTIESThe government in China has launched regional and national programs for volume-based procurement ("VBP") of high-value medical consumables to reduce healthcare costs. Each VBP tender has specific requirements to award contracts to the lowest bidders who are able to satisfy the quality and quantity requirements. The successful bidders may experience increases in unit sales volume for certain products, while unsuccessful bidders will lose unit sales volume. While the unit volume increases for successful bidders may enable manufacturers to lower their distribution and commercial costs, we expect that the new prices required for a successful bid will, nevertheless, negatively impact our existing commercial operations of joint replacement and trauma products in China. Based on preliminary indications received subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we believe we will be a successful bidder in certain regional tenders for several of our trauma products and unsuccessful in the bid for other trauma products. When the final decisions are made, it is reasonably possible that we will record an impairment charge of approximately $100 relating to certain long-lived and intangible assets. The national VBP program for hips and knees is currently in preparation. If we are unsuccessful in that national program, we expect that our commercial operations of joint replacement products will also be negatively impacted; however, we do not expect additional intangible asset impairments. Spine products are part of the volume-based procurement in one province and it is not clear to what extent spine products will be included in further VBP initiatives provincial or nationwide. Our business in China represented approximately 2% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020.
