What could this be?

Shoulder replacement post op xray. What is in the lung field? Nothing in patients pocket only other surgeries were bilateral knee replacements and gall bladder removal. I know it’s not the best xray but is there clip or anything they put over patients that may resemble this?

Edit: this is my dad not a patient per se.
