Can I replace the digitizer and not the LCD Panel? (Nexus 7 2013)

Part of the glass of my Nexus 7 2013 edition broke last night, and now the touchscreen doesn't work either.  I guess the crack in the screen caused the digitizer to break, but not the LCD.  This makes me wonder if I can easily replace the digitizer without having to replace the LCD panel.  If anybody has experience replacing and repairing this tablet, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Not 100% on this but I know it is far easier to buy them as a package and replace the lot. A lot of screens and digitizers are bonded now to cut down on width.

EDIT although one very quick Google rendered this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337288

should help out maybe.
