It is possible and if infected should be taken out Discuss with a Dr who knows you.

I wonder why you have the pain now because your bone is no longer growing. You should visit an orthopedist for a thorough assessment to decide if pain is truly causing the pain and if the femur is stable for plate removal or replaced.
