Brief summary: The goal of this open-label, post-market clinical follow-up study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of ArtiAid® Intra-articular Injection in patients with knee osteoarthritis(OA). The main questions it aims to answer are:

* the safety profile of ArtiAid®;
* the clinical performance of ArtiAid®, such as pain relief and satisfaction of treatment.

Participants will receive weekly injections of ArtiAid® for 5 weeks and be follow-up for 26 weeks.

Detailed description: An open-label study will be performed in single center to monitor about 60 patients with knee osteoarthritis(OA), each treated with 5 injections of ArtiAid® 1.0% (MAXIGEN BIOTECH INC., Taiwan). Follow-up visits will be at 4 weeks, 12 weeks(a telephone contact by the investigator) and 26 weeks after the injections. The primary endpoint of this study is to monitor the adverse events after injecting ArtiAid®. The secondary endpoints of this study are demonstrating the clinical performance of ArtiAid®, such as resting knee pain and satisfaction of treatment by using the visual analog scale (VAS). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be applied to the clinical data and t-test will be used to test for the differences between baseline and each visit. The paired student t-test was used to analyze variations in each group over a period of time. Statistical significance was established at p \< 0.05.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects aged older than 40 years old.
* Able to sign informed consent prior to the study.
* Subjects have Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade 2 to 3 knee osteoarthritis.
* Subjects have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacological therapy.
* Plasma pregnancy test at screening visit must be negative for fertile female subjects.
