No. There were three armies from France, Germany and a coalition from Northern Europe with the aim of retaking the County of Edessa. There first two were defeated in Anatolia by the Seljuks and barely made it into Jerusalem, the third went by sea and helped recapture Lisbon in the Reconquista in 1147. The remnants of the crusading armies attempted an attack on Damascus in 1148 after regrouping but this failed.
So no, the crusading armies did not recapture the County of Edessa or any of the other, smaller provinces lost to Zengi and his Seljuk alliance.
