Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]
Asset Impairments	ASSET IMPAIRMENTS Asset impairments recognized in 2023 were not significant. Asset impairments recognized in 2022 included $47 to write off long-lived and intangible assets primarily as a result of the exit of certain product lines. The government in China conducts regional and national volume-based procurement (VBP) programs for high-value medical consumables as part of its efforts 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. 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. In addition to the above, we recorded asset impairments of $159 in 2021 consisting primarily of in-process research and development, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment as a result of COVID-19-related demand impacts on in-process product development and certain other divestiture and restructuring activities. These charges were included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
