Just curious what one should do in case of a crash.  Where the blades are busted, but everything else appears fine?  Gimbal seems to work fine when calibrating

Sorry for your crash, definitely do not use props that have struck something even if it's a tiny nick. There could be internal damage and the prop can break at a later time and if it does and your 100ft up the entire aircraft is done.
Attach the new props and do a flight test hovering and if there's any stability issue at all then you may have issues.
I would to an IMU and gimbal calibration as well.

Thanks Ken.  The drone was in ATTI mode and drifting a little to the left, then hit lower part of my car, it tried to readjust itself and under it went.  3 blades obliterated.  My wife is not going to be happy...

I'd suggest buying FLOWERS...  Like ASAP before she 'has to know.'
