Hello,
Grinding and locking often have to do with damage to the meniscus. That is the cartilage lining of the knee. This may be able to be repaired arthroscopically (through a scope, instead of an open surgery) but you would probably need an MRI of the knee before they could decide on what procedure would fix this problem. See an orthopedic doctor soon.
