Brief Answer:
Yes , you can.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Doing exercise on an elliptical will not cause any further damage to the knee osteoarthritis. You can use the elliptical if you have been using it in the past regularly. In case you are planning to use it for the first time then do so under the guidance of a trainer.
I hope this answers your query.
