Most OEMs have either a published rotor strike special inspection or provide a tailored inspection specific to the incident. Depending on the inspection some are tiered by the level of blade damage or if the blade was powered or not. In your examp!e, I believe those components would require at least an overhaul based on my experience with a proper note on the incident. In addition there will probably be engine related inspections as well due to the strike. The manuals would give more details.
