Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
I have read complete details of your question.
There is no urgency to remove the plates.They can be kept until unless they are creating some problems like infection,irritation of soft tissue,etc.
To gain strength you should consult to a physiotherapist who may advice you & help you in doing some exercises which help in removing adhesion between muscles at forearm.
Hope this all will help you.
With best wishes.
