You can probably have an MRI but the doctors will want to check out a few things before they do it. Stents are normally made from non-feromagnetic metals and so should be fine they will be able to check what type of stent you have in your medical records but my choose to confirm this with further testing. Metal plates that have been in place longer than 6 weeks and have become fused to the bone are fine also. They will probably want to confirm that the plate is well fused so it will not move once you are inside the magnet of the MRI scanner perhaps using a standard x-ray.
