cracked MacBook Pro screen, not on glass on black bar below screen

I recently shut my MacBook pro not realising that my phone charger was on the keyboard and have just noticed that it has made a crack in, not the screen of my display, but that black bar beneath where it reads "MacBook Pro". Is there anything that can be done to fix this? I have done a bit of reading about it and have read a few sources that state that I may need to replace the whole LCD portion of my laptop, Is this true?
