Possibly: The first thing is to make sure you do not have arthritis, which can also make tearing/grinding sounds -- so you need an x-ray. Then a good exam by and orthopedic specialist will help determine if it is a meniscal injury. If knee locks or catches and meniscus involved, you may need a scope for a menisectomy (i.e. Clean out).
