Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]
Asset Impairments	ASSET IMPAIRMENTS The 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 program has specific requirements to award contracts to the lowest bidders who are able to satisfy the quality and quantity requirements. The successful bidders may be guaranteed sales volume for certain products, while unsuccessful bidders may lose unit sales volume. The prices required for a successful bid have negatively impact our affected commercial operations in China, including those for joint replacement, trauma and certain neurovascular products. As a result of the outcome of certain regional programs for our trauma products and the national VBP program for hips and knees we recorded charges of $105 to impair certain long-lived and intangible assets in 2021. These charges were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The national VBP program for spine products took place in the third quarter of 2022 and we were unsuccessful in our bid. As a result we are exiting the spine business in China. Related asset impairments recognized in 2022 were not significant and we do not expect any significant impairments related to future VBP programs. Our business in China represented approximately 2.4% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition to asset impairments in connection with VBP program results, we recognized asset impairments of $47 in 2022 for long-lived and intangible assets primarily as a result of the exit of certain product lines.
